Anna's Family Kitchen was inspired by my love of food and desire to feed my family healthy, home cooked wholesome meals that are beautifully presented and appealing but don’t require hours of prep in the kitchen.
Mexican Spicy Rice
This punchy, veggie laden Mexican inspired rice, topped with avocado and tomato salsa delivers at least your five a day, is Vegan and is all cooked in one pan. It’s a meal in itself but would also be a great side to serve at a barbecue. I can vouch that it’s also good cold the following day!

Stir in the rice.
Add the chipotle, black beans, sweetcorn and chopped tomatoes plus plenty of seasoning. Stir and add the stock.
