Smoky Mexican Stroganoff

• 200 g wild rice
• 500 ml vegetable stock
• 1 chipotle chili (reduce this to half if you dont like hot food, but increase the smoked paprika by at least 1/2 tsp)

4. Add the chilli to just-boiled water, cover and set aside to soak for at least 10 minutes.
5. Once it is ready, snip off the bottom (the thick, woody bit), scrape out the seeds and discard (these are very hot so you dont want them).
