Instructions

1. Begin to cook rice mixture ingredients

In a large saucepan, heat olive oil on a medium heat. Sauté onion, chorizo and garlic for 4-5 minutes until the onion is tender and chorizo is slightly crisp. Stir in paprika and cook for 1 minute.
2. Cook rice

Add rice to pan, and mix to coat grains. Stir in chicken stock and 2 cups of water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 12-15 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed, and rice is tender.
3. Prepare salsa

Meanwhile, to make the avocado salsa, combine avocado, Lebanese cucumber, red online and lemon juice. Season to taste.
4. Serve

Stir peas and cherry tomatoes through rice. Serve topped with avocado salsa, fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
