NICE AS RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 25-30 minutes. Drain (if necessary) and cover.
PERI-PERI SAUCE
Place a saucepan over medium-low heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic and ⅓ of the NOMU rub until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the yoghurt, the lemon juice, 5ml of sweetener, and seasoning. Remove from the heat and cover.
PAN-FRIED RICE
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft and translucent, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the remaining NOMU rub and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the cooked rice, the peas, the diced peppers, and ½ the chopped coriander, and heat through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and cover.
CHARRED SQUID
Rinse the squid and pat dry with paper towel. Coat in a drizzle of oil. Wipe down the pan and return to high heat. When hot, sauté the squid until charred and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
