Stir in the rice and 1/4 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.
Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce gets too thick.
Stir to combine, then bring to the boil and simmer until the chilli has reduced and thickened, 4-5 mins.
While the chilli simmers, zest and cut the lime into wedges. Trim the baby gem, halve lengthways, then thinly slice widthways.
Squeeze some lime juice into a small bowl and add a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar (if you have any). Mix together.
Pop the soured cream and lime zest into another small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
When everything's ready, taste the chilli and add salt and pepper if needed.
Add the baby gem to the bowl of dressing and toss to coat.
Fluff up the rice with a fork and share between your bowls. Spoon over the chilli, then top with the salad and zesty soured cream.
Serve with any remaining lime wedges for squeezing over.
Enjoy!
