Green beans and tomato rice

Directions

1. Add the chicken, tomatoes, water, 2 tsp salt and the black pepper to a large metal casserole or dutch oven and bring to a boil.

2. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes.

3. Remove the chicken and set aside then add the rice, ham, cumin and chilli.

4. Cook for 5 minutes then add the chicken, cabbage, green beans and onions.

5. Season with the remaining salt, bring to a boil then reduce the heat, cover and allow to simmer until the chicken is completely cooked (about 30 minutes).

6. When done the liquid should all have been absorbed.

7. For a more festive and colourful version add a pinch of saffron.

8. If you’re not particularly into hot chillies then reduce the amount of hot pepper and fresh thyme as a flavouring.
