Method
- Blitz the tomatoes, peppers, onion, scotch bonnet, garlic and ginger together in a high-powered blender until smooth.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the blended vegetables, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 mins, stirring occasionally. Mix the tomato purée, thyme, smoked paprika, garlic granules, onion granules, bay leaf and curry powder into the pan.
- Tip the rice into a sieve and rinse under a cold tap until the water runs clear, to remove the excess starch. Add to the pan, along with the stock, stir to combine, cover with a lid and gently simmer, undisturbed, for 20 mins over a low heat. Remove from the heat and leave to stand, covered for 5 mins before fluffing with a fork. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
