  • Step 2: Heat half the oil in a large, deep, on-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat and add the meatballs, cooking, turning occasionally for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked and then remove and cover to keep warm.

  • Step 3: Heat remaining oil in the same pan and add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until soft.

  • Step 4: Add rice and seasoning and cook, stirring for 1 minutes and then add the stock and tomatoes and season and then bring to the boil, lower to a simmer, covered, for about 12 minutes, or until rice is tender, adding the peas in the last 2 minutes of cooking.

  • Step 5: Stir in meatballs and coriander and serve with lemon wedges.
