Saus maken

Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil per person in a large deep frying pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Fry the onion and bell pepper for 2 - 3 minutes. Add the sugar, African-style spices and piri-piri spices and fry for 1 - 2 minutes, then add the tomato paste and fry for 2 - 3 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and allow to reduce for 6 - 7 minutes.

Stir the rice into the tomato sauce, then pour in the stock. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down so that it starts to simmer gently. Put the lid on the pan and let it simmer for 15 - 20 minutes without taking the lid off. If the rice is too crunchy, let it cook for 5 minutes longer.
