Spray a large, deep non-stick pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, chorizo and chicken and fry for 5 minutes, adding a little water if needed.

Add the rice to the pan and stir until the grains are coated in the spices. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, peppers and stock and bring to the boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, turn the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Add the peas to the rice without stirring them in and replace the lid. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat. Keep the lid on the pan and leave to stand for 10 minutes.
