Recipe by Jamie Oliver

Serves: 2

Total time: 18 min

Ingredients

150g basmati rice
1 sausage
160g mixed mushrooms
1 onion
4 sprigs of thyme
2 teaspoons English mustard
100ml single cream
150g shredded poached chicken
100g baby spinach
cayenne pepper

Method

Put the rice into a pan with 300m! of boiling water or reserved chicken stock (page 86) and a small pinch of sea salt, cover and cook on a medium-high heat for 12 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
Squeeze the sausagemeat out of the skin, breaking it into little balls, then place in a
frying pan on a medium-high heat and fry for 3 minutes.
Tear in the mushrooms, peel, very finely slice and add the onion, strip in the thyme, add 1/2 a tablespoon of olive oil and fry for 5 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden, stirring regularly.
Stir in the mustard, cream and 150ml of water or reserved stock, followed by the chicken and spinach. Reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes, then season the stew to perfection with salt and black pepper. Serve with the rice and a pinch of cayenne pepper, to taste.
