The meal would take no longer than 25 minutes to prepare and cook from start to finish, and is a good alternative solution for those who are time poor.

The quick recipe involves browning the chorizo, cooking the chopped onion and tomatoes, and mixing in the tinned beans while steaming the rice. 

Not only is the meal simple to make, but it can also be adapted and changed to suit individual taste preferences.

‘[The] chorizo can be substituted with leftover roast, mince [or] tofu,’ Jelvie said.

She also said more water, stock and other vegetables can be added to create a delicious soup.
