Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onions for 5 mins, stirring frequently until softened. Add the peppers and garlic and cook for 5 mins more, stirring every now and then.
step 2
Tip in the rice, thyme and paprika, then pour in the stock and stir in the olives. Cover and leave to cook over a low heat for 15 mins. Stir in the kidney beans, then cover and cook for 20-30 mins more until the rice is tender. Top with the lemon wedges, then cover and leave for 5 mins. Spoon two portions into bowls and serve. Cool and chill the remainder to eat another day. Will keep chilled for one day. To serve, reheat in a pan or in the microwave until piping hot (remove the lemon wedges before heating).
