Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Add your white long grain rice and cauliflower rice to a pot with a lid with 110ml [175ml] [225ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Step 1
2.

Peel and finely dice your brown onion[s]

Top, tail and chop your courgette[s] in half lengthways, then slice finely

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Step 2
3.

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the sliced courgette and diced onion and cook for 3-4 min or until softened and starting to brown

Step 3
4.

Once softened, add your tomato paste and ground turmeric to the pan with the chopped garlic and berbere seasoning and cook for 1-2 min or until fragrant

Give everything a good mix up and cook for 2-3 min or until the sauce has slightly thickened
