To Serve
Fry the chorizo, onion, pepper and courgette together in a large frying pan. There should be enough oil in the chorizo but add a drizzle of olive oil if you prefer. Cook until browned then add the spice and fry for a further minute.
Heat the rice according to the pack instructions and add to the pan, gently breaking up with a spatula.
Stir in the tomatoes, herbs and lemon juice if using and coat the rice completely in the smoky ingredients. Serve.
Tips: Serve on its own or with bread and salad or add prawns or chicken for a more substantial meal.
