RICE, RICE BABY
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
ROAST WITH THE MOST
Boil the kettle. Spread out the pepper pieces, the baby marrow chunks, the rinsed Chickpeas, and the tomato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the rub, and seasoning. Pour in 40ml of boiling water and bake in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes, until the veggies have browned.
THE ANGEL’S HALLO-UMI
When the roast has 5-10 minutes remaining, place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the Halloumi slabs and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy and golden.
