This tasty rice dish is simple to make and a great after work meal. You can use Basmati rice instead of brown if preferred - the shrimp and lemon juice lower the G.I. content of the dish making it a great source of slow-release energy.

Shrimp is a great source of low-fat protein. Brown rice is a good source of fiber and B vitamins. Cooked tomatoes are a source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant which can help to prevent free-radical damage.
•Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the rice according to pack instructions.
•While the rice is cooking, heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan and gently fry the sliced onion until golden. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes. Season the shrimp with black pepper and add to the pan and cook gently for a further 2-3 minutes.
•Add the fresh tomatoes and cook over a low heat until they have softened. Add the canned tomatoes, chili powder and tomato puree and stir well. Bring to a simmer and add the spinach a handful at a time, until it's all been added. Add the lemon juice and season to taste adding more chili if necessary. Keep warm over a low heat.
•When the rice is cooked, drain, rinse and add to the frying pan containing the sauce, stir well to combine all ingredients and heat through thoroughly. Add the chives and pile the rice into bowls. Top with a wedge of lime and a spoonful of sour cream.
