Song hits charts with<br />

HENARE KAA has achieved a<br />
career milestone with backup<br />
from musically-minded Rangi<br />
Ruru Girls’ School students.<br />
For the first time, the<br />
musician’s band, Dillastrate,<br />
has made it into the official New<br />
Zealand music charts, with<br />
Tāwara Ana coming in at No.<br />
10 on the Te Reo Māori singles<br />
chart and No. 12 on the Hot NZ<br />
singles chart.<br />
Kaa, who teaches contemporary<br />
music at the school,<br />
said his year 13 students did<br />
group vocal work for the single,<br />
produced by Black Comet and<br />
featuring Laughton Kora.<br />

Police in<br />
dark over<br />
how often<br />
busy roads<br />
patrolled<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
POLICE DO not know how often<br />
they patrolled on Cranford St<br />
and the Christchurch Northern<br />
Corridor last year.<br />
Police presence was raised<br />
as a concern by Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board member Ali<br />
Jones, who last year observed<br />
she never saw police on these<br />
roads.<br />
Police data obtained under the<br />
Official Information Act shows<br />
five checkpoints were held on<br />
Cranford St in 2021, one in May,<br />
July and October and two in<br />
August, while a directed patrol<br />
took place in October.<br />
However, this does not<br />
account for all police presence<br />
on Cranford St last year, a police<br />
spokesperson told Nor’West <strong>News</strong>.<br />
Police recorded their activities<br />
using codes, but many road<br />
patrol codes were also used for<br />
other activities, while different<br />
codes were sometimes used when<br />
patrolling.<br />
“Directed patrols may also be<br />
for a certain area that includes the<br />
specified roads, but the location<br />
may be recorded as another road<br />
within the area.<br />
“A unit that is travelling along<br />
the road to an enquiry or other<br />
event is technically patrolling<br />
along the road as well, however,<br />
this is not recorded.”<br />

View board meetings online<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
COMMUNITY board meetings<br />
will now be viewable on YouTube<br />
as the city council reverses<br />
its earlier refusal to record<br />
meetings.<br />
Community board meetings<br />
will be held via Zoom in red<br />
alert level, with live stream recordings<br />
posted to the site.<br />
The city<br />
council<br />
declined<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community<br />
Board member<br />
Andrei Moore’s<br />
Andrei<br />
Moore<br />
request to<br />
have meeting<br />
recordings<br />
made available<br />
online last October, citing a lack<br />
of resources.<br />
Pandemic restrictions prevented<br />
the public from attending<br />
in-person meetings last year,<br />
yet the board also encountered<br />
capacity problems as members<br />
of the public attempted to attend<br />
meetings Zoom.<br />
This was the “ideal outcome”,<br />
Moore said.<br />
“I was ready to ask permission<br />
to record again, but by the time I<br />
could do that I got this news that<br />
we got this news that we were going<br />
to do live stream recording.”<br />
Streaming meetings to<br />
YouTube would make them<br />
accessible to people who could<br />
not watch them live, and would<br />
enable the public to see<br />
how decisions were made,<br />
he said.<br />
“It’s a reasonably simple<br />
thing to offer and facilitate,<br />
and an important<br />
one as well.<br />
“To be honest, I was<br />
more surprised that we<br />
were struggling to get it in<br />
the first place.”<br />
Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board chairwoman Emma<br />
Emma<br />
Norrish<br />
Norrish said live streaming,<br />
something the Papanui-Innes<br />
board already undertook<br />
independently, was<br />
an easy way to make<br />
decision making more<br />
transparent.<br />
“I hope it is something<br />
which will continue to be<br />
done by all boards when<br />
we go back to meeting in<br />
person,” she said.<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community<br />
Board chairwoman Bridget Williams<br />
hoped the ease of watching<br />
a live stream would lead to an<br />
increase in the number of people<br />
actively engaged in community<br />
issues.<br />
“It’s a wonderful thing to give<br />
more accessibility,” she said.<br />
City council head of community<br />
support and partnerships<br />
John Filsell said the council was<br />
in the process of setting up a<br />
YouTube channel for each community<br />
board.<br />
“It is our intention to live<br />
stream all community board<br />
meetings to YouTube in the<br />
current red traffic light setting,”<br />
Filsell said.<br />
Not all the rooms used to host<br />
community board meetings had<br />
the technology to stream a good<br />
quality video, he said.<br />
However, it was not only members<br />
of the public who would be<br />
relegated to online attendance.<br />
Board members would not be<br />
meeting physically in red alert<br />
level.<br />
“With members of meetings<br />
attending via a device, we believe<br />
the obstacle of a poor quality<br />
stream will be overcome.”<br />
It was possible community<br />
board meetings would continue<br />
to be live-streamed in lower alert<br />
levels in spite of the technical issues<br />
with some meeting rooms.<br />
“Staff will be investigating<br />
options to enable this in the<br />
future when community boards<br />
physically meet in the same space.”<br />
In Brief<br />
NO APPEAL AFTER<br />
FACILITY DECLINED<br />
THe Department of Corrections<br />
has confirmed it will not appeal<br />
the decision to decline consent<br />
for the planned accommodation<br />
facility at Bristol St. The proposal<br />
would have seen up to 12 men<br />
serving sentences of home<br />
detention while participating in a<br />
violence-prevention programme.<br />
In January, the Bristol Street<br />
Resource Consent Hearing panel<br />
declined to grant resource consent<br />
for the Bristol St facility, following<br />
a hearing in November. Acting<br />
southern regional commissioner<br />
Chris O’Brien-Smith said Kāinga<br />
Ora remains the property owner<br />
and will now take the time to<br />
consider options for the site.<br />
Corrections remained committed<br />
to pursuing the delivery of<br />
supported accommodation<br />
services, O’Brien-Smith said.<br />
FUNDING FOR CLUB<br />
THe Burnside Park Tennis Club<br />
is set to benefit from a $15,000<br />
grant towards the replacement of<br />
its clubhouse roof. The Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood Community<br />
Board approved the grant<br />
from its 2021-22 discretionary<br />
response fund during a meeting<br />
on Monday. The board also<br />
approved a grant of $500 from<br />
its 2021-<strong>2022</strong> youth development<br />
fund to support judo competitor<br />
Hayley Mackey to take part in<br />
tournaments in Europe and<br />
Africa.

We are thrilled to announce that we will be able<br />
to add “MRI” to our list of patient services from<br />
the middle of this year. McMaster & Heap have<br />
teamed up with Gareth and Pacific Radiology<br />
to bring this cutting edge technology to our<br />
patients and make it more easily available to<br />
other NZL veterinarians and their patients.<br />
We have always offered MRI through Pacific<br />
Radiology at Forte Health for a number of years<br />
now. The process has involved getting a slot for<br />
a pet patient at the end of the night (only some<br />
nights per week) when the radiographers have<br />
finished with their human clients. The owner<br />
meets me at Forte Health and we sedate the<br />
patient, perform the MRI, the whole process<br />
taking about 90 minutes. Once we have the<br />
MRI up and running, owners can drop their pets<br />
off at the clinic for the day until the procedure<br />
is performed and the animal is awake. Any<br />
veterinarians can bring their patients as well and<br />
utilise this service.<br />
Bringing this leading edge diagnostic<br />
technology into a clinic setting means that MRI<br />
is more accessible to pet patients 5 days a week.<br />
Basically any animal that can fit into the scanner<br />
(less than 180cm in circumference), can undergo<br />
an MRI as long as sedated, as they need to be<br />
very still. Monitoring equipment allows us to<br />
make sure they are okay once inside the scanner.<br />
As well as using this piece of equipment for cats<br />
and dogs, large animals, wildlife, exotic animals<br />
and zoo animals may take advantage of MRI at<br />
McMaster & Heap. It also may have benefits in<br />
research.<br />
MRI is very safe for the animal and is the best<br />
imaging modality available to investigate an<br />
animals brain, spine and joints. MRI can be<br />
crucial in surgical planning (Spinal surgery,<br />
Brain surgery). We anticipate urgent cases<br />
McMaster & Heap<br />
Veterinary practice<br />
MRI is coming to<br />
McMaster & Heap Vets<br />
can undergo MRI within 24 hours (as long as<br />
stable for sedation) therefore alleviating patient<br />
suffering and allowing faster, tailored treatment<br />
plans. We use specialist radiographers to<br />
interpret the hundreds of MRI images taken and<br />
send us a report on their findings.<br />
Being the first private practice in the country<br />
offering MRI services is very exciting for us. Steve<br />
and I have strived over the past 30 years to give<br />
companion animals the very best veterinary<br />
healthcare has to offer - in deliverance of care,<br />
cutting edge diagnostics and carefully thought<br />
out, managed treatment plans. Not to mention<br />
the skill set and decades of experience amassed<br />
in the veterinary team, and not forgetting the<br />
tremendous support and care given by our<br />
dedicated nursing team. Your pet is our #1<br />
priority.<br />

Singles charts surprise<br />
with song Tāwara Ana<br />
• From page 1<br />
“There was a little bit of guidance, but<br />
there was some improvising,” Kaa said.<br />
To be notified that Tāwara Ana had<br />
made the national music charts was a<br />
great surprise, he said.<br />
“You don’t know until it happens. You<br />
never can guess what song is going to do<br />
it.<br />
“The feeling was awesome because to be<br />
on the charts is one thing, but to be on the<br />
charts for a song in te reo Māori, that was<br />
exciting.”<br />
Kaa’s music class was an elective course,<br />
and pupils had a passion that reminded<br />
him of himself at a similar age.<br />
However, his students were getting an<br />
early taste of performing that he never<br />
had, starting music at the relatively late<br />
age of 18.<br />
Some joined Dillastrate onstage at<br />
Sparks in the Park last month, performing<br />
Tāwara Ana.<br />
It was a translation of a song Kaa – an<br />
ambassador for ADHD – wrote called<br />
‘Party In My Head’.<br />
“[Its] about the quirkiness and some<br />
of the positivity of having the party in<br />
my head, and other people that have that<br />
similar party in their head can understand,<br />
but when we released it the reaction<br />
was on a more broad sense.”<br />
The translated version of the song was<br />
added to the Waiata Anthems playlist,<br />
celebrating bilingual New Zealand music.<br />
“From there, it’s just gone from strength<br />
to strength.<br />
“That’s led us to find our way, which<br />

RECORDING: Students from Rangi<br />
Ruru Girls’ School sang backup on<br />
the single Tāwara Ana by Dillastrate.<br />
is composing Māori music.”<br />
Eight weeks ago, Kaa’s daughter Harriet<br />
was born, and the experience of becoming<br />
a father was the subject of his new song,<br />
Taku Aroha.<br />
Once again his students would be<br />
involved in the recording, he said.<br />
“It is written and it’s two weeks from<br />
going into the studio.”<br />

Cyclist unhappy with process<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
A BRYNDWR resident says his<br />
objections to the Nor’West Arc<br />
cycleway have “fallen on deaf<br />
ears” as the city council says it<br />
will not reopen consultation on<br />
the third and final section of the<br />
cycleway.<br />
A keen cyclist Alister<br />
Metherell believes alternative<br />
plans for the intersection of<br />
Aorangi Rd and Wairakei Rd<br />
junction, where through traffic<br />
is set to be blocked, were not<br />
presented properly.<br />
Alternative designs for the<br />
intersection were not circulated<br />
to local houses, he said.<br />
“The most galling aspect<br />
was that the three options for<br />
the intersection were never<br />
presented to the public as part of<br />
the consultation documents.”<br />
However, city council<br />
head of transport and waste<br />
management Lynette Ellis<br />
said a standard and detailed<br />
consultation process was<br />
followed.<br />
All alternative designs were<br />
discussed with the hearings panel<br />
and staff provided commentary<br />
on the merits and relative safety of<br />
the options, she said.<br />
Metherell is concerned the<br />
current plan would incentivise<br />
u-turns on Wairakei Rd and<br />
create problems on other roads<br />
and intersections.<br />
“A fully signalised intersection<br />
would be a considerably better<br />
solution and dramatically<br />
improve safety for all users,” he<br />
said.<br />
Metherell made submissions<br />
to the city council, including his<br />
own design for the intersection,<br />
but felt his arguments were not<br />
given consideration.<br />
Ellis said all submissions<br />
were considered by staff and<br />
modifications were made to the<br />
designs for inclusion in the staff<br />
report to the hearings panel.<br />
“The hearings panel<br />
considered all of these modified<br />
designs and all submissions<br />
made by the public,” she said.<br />
“The findings of the hearings<br />
panel were presented to the<br />
urban development and<br />
transport committee for a<br />
decision on the preferred<br />
option recommended<br />
by staff.<br />
“This preferred option<br />
was approved by the urban<br />
development and transport<br />
committee to proceed to detailed<br />
design.<br />
“As a result of this process<br />
council will not consider<br />
re-opening consultation.”<br />

the final section of the<br />
Nor’West Arc cycleway<br />
be reopened for public<br />
consultation? Email fiona.<br />

CONCERNED: Cyclist Alister Metherell feels the city council<br />

‘Let’s get<br />
on with it’<br />
says Jones<br />
• From page 1<br />
Police issued 341 speeding<br />
tickets on Cranford St last year.<br />
In an area with a speed limit of<br />
50km/h, one car allegedly reached<br />
speeds of between 91-100km/h.<br />
In the same speed zone, six<br />
drivers were allegedly travelling<br />
between 81-90km/h, 37 between<br />
71-80km/h, 252 between<br />
61-70km/h and 40 between 51-<br />
60km/h.<br />
In an area with a speed limit<br />
of 30km/h, four drivers allegedly<br />
reached speeds between 41-<br />
50km/h, and one between 51 and<br />
60km/h.<br />
So far this year police have<br />
records of two checkpoints and<br />
one directed patrol occurring in<br />
Cranford St last month.<br />
Records for the CNC were<br />
unavailable.<br />
The board had raised patrolling<br />
issues both at meetings with<br />
police and in correspondence,<br />
Jones said.<br />
“I think what’s important is<br />
that we all agree there are issues<br />
on these roads, lock in what those<br />
issues are and work together to fix<br />
them.<br />
“I’m no expert but it would<br />
appear there are solutions –<br />
signage, enforcement for example<br />
– so let’s get on with it.”<br />

Your rare chance to have a pew<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
THOSE SEEKING some unusual decor<br />
may have their prayers answered at<br />
a garage sale in Upper Riccarton on<br />
Saturday.<br />
More than half the pews from St Peter’s<br />
Anglican Church are being sold off as part<br />
of a much-needed fundraising sale taking<br />
place at the Church Corner site.<br />
Parishioners’ warden Jo Winfield said<br />
the pews were no longer needed following<br />
changes to the church, which was badly<br />
damaged in the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
It reopened last <strong>February</strong> following a<br />
restoration project costing about $4 million.<br />
“We have put back some [pews], but<br />
we’ve got some leftover. We can’t put them<br />
back because we’ve got chairs in there as<br />
well,” Winfield said.<br />
“Chairs are more flexible, we can change<br />
things around and move things around<br />
better.”<br />
The first church at the site was opened<br />
in 1858, and although Winfield was uncertain<br />
when the pews were installed, she<br />
estimated them to be at least 100-yearsold.<br />
“They were certainly there for a very,<br />
very long time.”<br />
The restored church was “absolutely<br />
incredible”, she said.<br />
“We’re loving the space and really utilising<br />
it thoroughly. We’ve opened up again<br />
now and we’re very, very happy.<br />
Up to 20 pews would be for sale in a<br />
range of sizes.<br />
The largest seated about 10 people, while<br />
the smaller ones seated four or five, she<br />
said.<br />
A wide range of second-hand furniture<br />
and other items in good condition would<br />
also be for sale, including other furniture<br />
the church accumulated in the three years<br />
since the sale was last held.<br />
Once a twice-yearly staple, the garage<br />
sale had not been held since the outbreak<br />
of the Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
Previous sales raised up to $7000, an essential<br />
contribution to parish finances.<br />
“We have noticed the decrease in funds<br />
so this year we are determined to do<br />
something.”<br />
The sale will be held outdoors at the<br />
Main South Rd church between 9am and<br />
noon.<br />
OPPORTUNITY: St<br />
Peter’s parishioners’<br />
warden Jo Winfield with<br />
pews similar to the ones<br />
for sale on Saturday.<br />

Apt outcome for Māori word find<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
WHEN Jo Zervos isn’t attending<br />
community board meetings, she’s<br />
developing an app to promote<br />
Māori learning.<br />
The Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board member<br />
recently started hew own<br />
business Jojahawa Ltd, launching<br />
a mobile app ‘Māori Word Find<br />
& Learn’.<br />
Zervos began creating Māori<br />
word finds about 30 years ago<br />
for her younger cousin who liked<br />
doing puzzles.<br />
Zervos has always had an<br />
interest in the Māori language<br />
and remembers travelling around<br />
the country with her parents<br />
when she was younger.<br />
“I remember my parents saying<br />
maunga is mountain and nui is<br />
big and that’s why it’s called Mt<br />
Maunganui,” Zervos said.<br />
“I thought that was cool. I’ve<br />
always liked how place names<br />
are made up with words that<br />
describe them.”<br />
Zervos admitted she got a bit<br />
“carried away” with the word<br />
finds and started creating pages<br />
and pages before taking a break<br />
to have kids.<br />
Soon after, she noticed te reo<br />
Māori being encouraged in her<br />
children’s kindergarten and<br />
decided to continue with her<br />
word finds, only this time typing<br />
them out on the computer.<br />
This was difficult as in the early<br />
2000s there weren’t many layouts<br />
to follow, meaning she had to<br />
type out each letter and<br />
space.<br />
“It was quite a long process<br />
trying to get them all in line with<br />
each other,” she said. “[Once]<br />
I started typing them out I<br />
thought, oh I could get them<br />
made into books.”<br />
After a year of working away<br />
at the word finds in her spare<br />
time, Zervos ended up with<br />
three books with more than 50<br />
puzzles each. She decided to try<br />
her luck with various publishing<br />
companies.<br />
One of the companies told<br />
her they would trial books of<br />
30 puzzles each, but they would<br />
need to be edited by someone<br />
fluent in te reo Māori.<br />
“There was no way to look for<br />
people on the internet,” Zervos<br />
said. “It was all phone and mail<br />
so it was quite tricky to actually<br />
access people the same way you<br />
can do now.”<br />
She put the books on hold.<br />
They sat in the cupboard for 20<br />
years – until recently, when she<br />
had the idea of turning them into<br />
downloadable puzzles for mobile<br />
devices.<br />
Setting up the app proved<br />
difficult with translation issues,<br />
but Zervos wanted to get her<br />

work out there as she’d put so<br />
much time and effort into it.<br />
She hopes her app can help<br />
people to learn in a fun way<br />
and has been pleased with the<br />
feedback she’s received so<br />
far.<br />
“I can see the total of how<br />
many people have played<br />
everyday,” she said. “It’s actually<br />
quite encouraging to see that<br />
number creeping up a wee bit.”<br />

OPEN DAYS<br />
Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 <strong>February</strong>, 10am-3pm<br />
WE ARE A COMMUNITY<br />
Our village open days are a great opportunity to visit a Ryman<br />
village. Experience how easy it is to continue enjoying the<br />
lifestyle you’ve always loved while making the most of the<br />
endless opportunities available.<br />
It’s a lifestyle Lynette knows well. She starts her day practicing<br />
yoga, and since moving to her Ryman apartment, has joined the<br />
village walking group. The friendships, camaraderie and support<br />
that have blossomed from their regular outings mean that<br />
Lynette now sees the village community as family.<br />
“You’ve got facilities,<br />
you’ve got activities,<br />
and you don’t stop living.”<br />
Lynette, Ryman resident<br />

Milestone celebrated<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
WHEN NGAIRIE Van<br />
Grondelle joined the Halswell<br />
Pottery Group as a foundation<br />
member, she never imagined the<br />
the group would still be running<br />
over 50 years later.<br />
Last weekend the group held<br />
its 50th-anniversary exhibition<br />
at its Candys Rd clubrooms, delayed<br />
a year due to the Covid-19<br />
pandemic.<br />
The exhibition was “absolutely<br />
stunning”, Ngairie said.<br />
“It was a reasonably sized exhibition<br />
together with an exhibition<br />
of retrospective pots.”<br />
Over the years many talented<br />
pottery makers had trained in<br />
Halswell, and some of these<br />
works were on display in the retrospective<br />
exhibition, she said.<br />
In addition to members’ work,<br />
pottery demonstrations took<br />
place in a marquee in front of<br />
the clubrooms, and visitors were<br />
also able to see the group’s range<br />
of kilns.<br />
This included a wood kiln,<br />
which required stoking every<br />
three minutes, two large combustion<br />
kilns, an anagama kiln<br />
and a salt kiln.<br />
The level of public interest in<br />
spite of the “atrocious” weather<br />
stood out for Ngairie as a highlight.<br />
“People just came out, it was<br />
amazing, all day from 10am<br />
until we closed, there were<br />
people in large groups viewing<br />
the pots.”<br />
ANNIVERSARY: Katrina Wilke with one of her bowls at the<br />
Halswell Pottery Group’s 50th-anniversary exhibition, beside<br />
unique works by sculptor Jane Whales.<br />
Visitors were also interested in<br />
learning pottery with the group,<br />
to the point where the waitlist<br />
sometimes had to be closed, she<br />
said.<br />
“We get people coming<br />
back, and coming back, and<br />

coming back.”<br />
With the high level of enthusiasm<br />
for pottery, Ngaire was optimistic<br />
about the group’s future.<br />
“I firmly believe that with the<br />
right people it will be there in<br />
[another] 50 years.”<br />
UNDER WAY: An artist’s illustration of the St Albans skate<br />
park upgrade. Work is expected to be finished in April.<br />

Skate park expected<br />
to be finished<br />
for school holidays<br />
A $392,000 upgrade now under<br />
way at the St Albans skate park is<br />
good news for beginner scooters<br />
and skaters.<br />
Work on the project began in<br />
St Albans Park last week and is<br />
expected to be completed in time<br />
for the April school holidays.<br />
The upgrade has been in the<br />
pipeline since a skate jam at the<br />
park in 20<strong>17</strong> highlighted the lack<br />
of facilities to cater for beginners.<br />
Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board chairwoman Emma Norrish<br />
said it was exciting to have<br />
reached the stage where construction<br />
was under way.<br />
“There’s been strong support<br />
in the community for a facility<br />
that will cater for those skate and<br />
scooter users of a beginner skill<br />
level,” Norrish said.<br />
“The concept and design has<br />
been developed with input from<br />
current skate park users, local<br />
school children, residents and<br />
businesses – it’s been a real community<br />
effort.”<br />
The new extension features<br />
a pyramid and wollie ledge, fat<br />

Cheaper, tastier plant-based tacos<br />
TACOS ACORAZADOS<br />
In Spanish, acorazados<br />
literally means armoured<br />
– and the key to success<br />
with these delicious bitesized<br />
Mexican tacos is to<br />
double wrap the tortilla<br />
around the filling to stop<br />
it from getting soggy and<br />
to keep the filling intact.<br />
They are rumoured to have<br />
been the favourite snacks<br />
of soldiers as the doublewrap<br />
meant they were<br />
easier to eat on the move<br />
Serves 4-6<br />
Ingredients<br />
•For the tomato rice<br />
½ red pepper<br />
1 Tbsp vegetable oil<br />
150g long-grain white rice<br />
250ml water<br />
Generous pinch of salt<br />
1 Tbsp tomato puree<br />
•For the chorizo<br />
½ red onion<br />
½ red pepper<br />
1 x 400g tin kidney beans<br />
100g plain flour<br />
50g stale bread<br />
30g sultanas<br />
2 tsp smoked paprika<br />
1 tsp garlic powder<br />
1 tsp ground cinnamon<br />
1 tsp ground coriander<br />
1 tsp ground cumin<br />
2 tsp soy sauce<br />
Handful of fresh coriander<br />
Salt and black pepper<br />
2 Tbsp vegetable oil<br />
•For the green beans<br />
120g green beans<br />
12 Tbsp wine or beer<br />
Salt<br />
•For the tomato and apple salsa<br />
3 large ripe tomatoes<br />
1 apple<br />
½ red onion<br />
Pinch of salt<br />
Pinch of dried chilli flakes<br />
Dash apple cider vinegar<br />
½ lime<br />
Handful of fresh coriander leaves<br />
•To serve<br />
½ lime<br />
16 small soft corn tortillas<br />
•Before you start<br />
Medium saucepan with a lid on a<br />
medium heat<br />
2 clean tea towels<br />
Food processor<br />
Frying pan with a lid<br />
Small saucepan with a lid<br />
Directions<br />
Make the tomato rice: Trim<br />
and finely dice the red pepper.<br />
Heat the oil in the saucepan and<br />
add half of the diced pepper. Stir<br />
and turn the heat down to low.<br />
Rinse the rice until the water<br />
runs clear, then add it to the pan<br />
with the water, salt and tomato<br />
puree. Stir to combine. Increase<br />
the heat, cover and bring to the<br />
boil. Once the water is boiling,<br />
reduce the heat again and cook<br />
on low for another 10min. Take<br />
off the heat and cover with<br />
a clean tea towel. Just before<br />
serving, uncover and fluff up the<br />
rice with a fork.<br />
Make the chorizo: Peel and<br />
roughly chop the onion. Roughly<br />
chop the pepper. Drain and<br />
rinse the kidney beans. Add all<br />
the chorizo ingredients except<br />
the vegetable oil to the food<br />
processor with a pinch of salt<br />
and pepper. Blitz to a thick,<br />
chunky paste. Pour half the oil<br />
into the frying pan and<br />
set it over a medium heat.<br />
Spoon in all the chorizo<br />
mixture and fry for 10min,<br />
allowing a crust to form.<br />
Break up the chorizo with a<br />
spoon and turn it around in<br />
the pan so that you get lots of<br />
bite-sized crispy bits. Add the<br />
remaining tablespoon of oil and<br />
cook for another 5min until<br />
crispy. Take the pan off the heat.<br />
Cook the green beans: Trim<br />
the beans and cut them into<br />
2½cm chunks. Put them in the<br />
small pan and add the wine or<br />
beer, and a pinch of salt. Cover<br />
and cook for 35min until tender.<br />
Take off the heat.<br />
Make the tomato and apple<br />
salsa: Trim and finely dice the<br />
tomatoes, apple and onion. Tip<br />
into a bowl and add the salt,<br />
chilli flakes and vinegar. Squeeze<br />
in the juice of the lime. Stir to<br />
mix and then add the coriander<br />
leaves.<br />
Prepare the tacos: Warm the<br />
tortillas in a dry pan, in the oven<br />
or the microwave and wrap in a<br />
clean tea towel to keep warm.<br />
Serve it up: Cut the lime<br />
into wedges. Take all the<br />
elements to the table for your<br />
guests to build their tacos.<br />
Double up two tortillas, fold to<br />
make a pocket and fill it with<br />
rice, chorizo, green beans and<br />
salsa. Squeeze over a little more<br />
lime and enjoy.
