Method

To cook the white rice, in a saucepan, add 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stand, covered for 5 minutes. If you are not sure how, we have a helpful “How to Cook rice section” to make you a pro. If you would like to use a brown rice in this recipe, simply add an additional ½ a cup of water.

Tip: For a quicker alternative, we also have a range of ready rices, that are ready to eat in 90 seconds!
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the pork and onions in a large non-stick frypan over a medium-high heat. When the onions and mince are browned, add the zucchinis and cook until they are just softened.
Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Followed by the cooked rice and fold gently to combine. Season to taste.

Serving Suggestion: Garnish with parsley for a fresh finish.
