Imagine a plate of Nando’s-inspired spicy rice right at your own dining table. I recently gave the Nando’s spicy rice dish a go, and the result? A magnificent replication of Nando’s famous spicy rice that left us craving for more. It was so morish and was so simple to make.

- Gently intertwine the rice with the saucy vegetables, allowing their flavours to intertwine. As they cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes, watch the masterpiece unfold.
