HOW TO DO IT

1 Heat the oven to 180C Fan/Gas 6 and heat the oil in a large, ovenproof frying pan. Squeeze the sausage meat from the casings into the pan. Fry for 5-6 mins, until deep golden brown.

2 Add the onion, 2 garlic cloves, ginger and garam masala. Fry for 4-5 mins, until the onion has softened.

3 Add the spinach to the pan and fry 3 for a further 1-2 mins, until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt.

4 Add the rice to the pan and crumble in the stock cube. Toss to coat the grains in the residual oil. Add 350ml water, stir together briefly and bring to a boil.

5 Whack the pan into the oven. Bake for 10-12 mins until the rice softens and all the water has been absorbed.

6 Add 10g of the chopped dill to a small mixing bowl and dollop in the creme fraiche. Add the remaining garlic and beat together. Season to taste.
