ROASTIN’ PUMPKIN
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the pumpkin pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the Spanish Rub to taste, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up. Place the drained black beans in a bowl, coat in oil and seasoning, and set aside.
GET THE RICE GOING
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. Drain on completion if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
SEEDS, Peas & TOMATOES
Boil the kettle. Place the seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool. In a salad bowl, combine the sweet chilli sauce with 2 tsp of oil. Mix in the coconut sugar, some Lemon juice, and chopped chilli to taste. Toss through the halved baby tomatoes, season to taste, and set aside to marinate. Submerge the peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Drain on completion and set aside.
HALFWAY, HOORAY!
When the pumpkin reaches the halfway mark, remove from the oven and give a shift. Scatter over the beans, spread out in a single layer, and return to the oven for the remaining time. On completion, the beans should be crisping up and the pumpkin should be cooked through and caramelised.
ASSEMBLE THE RICE SALAD
When the roast veg and rice have finished cooking, place in a large bowl with the Peas and the marinated tomatoes. Toss through the chilli-Lemon dressing from the tomato bowl to taste. In a separate bowl, toss the rinsed green leaves with some lemon juice and seasoning to taste.
A COLOUR & FLAVOUR BURST!
Make a bed of moreish rice salad and scatter with the dressed leaves. Finish with flecks of toasted pumpkin seeds, sprinkles of crispy onions, and any remaining Lemon wedges. Wonderful work, Chef!
