What you need

Rice for twelve, which my aunt measures in the blue cup, tomatoes, red peppers, onions, a little scotch bonnet, stock, thyme, bay leaves and patience.

How it goes

Blend the tomatoes, peppers and half of the onions. Fry the rest of the onions slowly, add the blend and let it cook down until the oil comes back to the top. Only then does the rice go in, with the stock, and a lid, and nobody lifts the lid.
