Ingredients

2 medium onions
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus some oil for frying the eggs
400 g basmati rice, rinsed well
12 cocktail sausages or 6 twisted chipolatas, then halved
6 slices dry-cured streaky bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces
140 g chestnut mushrooms, halved
2 red or green chili peppers, deseeded
3 cloves garlic, flattened to remove skin
6 eggs
20g pack of coriander
Soy sauce and chili sauce for serving

Preparation steps

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4.
Cut half an onion into thin slices and spread on a baking tray with 1 teaspoon of oil.
Roast the sliced onions in the oven for 15 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crispy.
Place the rice and enough water to cover it with a fingertip in a large pot.
Bring the rice to a boil, stir once, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove the rice from the heat, cover and let it stand for 10 minutes, then fluff it with a fork.
Add 1 teaspoon of oil to a frying pan and fry the sausages for a few minutes.
Add the bacon to the pan and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the bacon is golden brown and the sausages are cooked through.
Place the bacon and sausages in a large bowl.
In the same skillet, fry the mushrooms until golden brown, 3 minutes, then add them to the bowl with the bacon and sausage. Wipe out the pan.
Place the chiles, garlic, remaining onions and 1 tablespoon oil in a small food processor and blend to form a paste.
Gently fry the paste, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the rice to the pan, stir well, then fold in the meat and mushrooms.
Add a splash of water and stir everything together.
Pour the mixture into the tin, cover and keep warm in the oven.
Heat a thin layer of oil in the wiped frying pan over low heat.
Crack in as many eggs as the pan can hold and fry them gently, occasionally spooning a little hot oil over them, until cooked to your liking.
Take the mold out of the oven.
Roughly chop the coriander and mix it with the rice along with a dash of soy sauce.
Divide the rice between plates and place an egg on each.
Depending on your taste, sprinkle more soy sauce and chili sauce on top.
Distribute the crispy onions on the plates.
