Method
- Heat the oil in a large, lidded frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the bacon. Fry for 3-5 mins until golden and cooked through, then transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon, leaving the oil in the pan.
- Add the onion, garlic, celery and peppers to the pan and cook for 5 mins. Add the rice, tomatoes and stock. Bring to the boil, then cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-18 mins, until the rice is tender.
- Stir the bacon and chipotle paste through the rice; season to taste. Divide between 4 plates, garnish with the chilli and coriander and serve with the lime wedges to squeeze over.
