Step 3

Add rice, tomatoes, coriander, or parsley stalks very finely chopped, , vinegar, piri piri and the stock or water. Stir, increase heat to medium. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Let the rice simmer with a lid, but vented so that steam can escape, for 20-25 minutes, stirring every now and then. Test for doneness at around 20 minutes.

After the rice is cooked, discard bay leaf and add chopped coriander leaves, and serve immediately.
