OVEN-GRILLED VEGGIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the butternut pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. Place the cauliflower pieces in a bowl, drizzle with oil, and season. Toss to coat and set aside.
A BOUNTY OF RICE
Rinse the rice and place in a pot with ½ of the stock. Submerge in 300ml of water and stir through. Pop on a lid and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until 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 with a fork.
CHECK THOSE Chickpeas!
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the drained Chickpeas for 10-12 minutes until crispy and caramel in colour. For the best results, only shift occasionally. If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in!
MEANWHILE...
When the butternut has been in for about 10 minutes, remove from the oven and give it a shift. Add in the cauliflower pieces and return to the oven for the remaining time. On completion, the cauliflower should be starting to char and the butternut should be cooked through. Boil the kettle. Dilute the remaining stock with 50ml of boiling water and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together ½ of the coconut cream, ½ of the chopped coriander, and some seasoning. Set aside for serving.
LET’S GET SPICY
When the Chickpeas are crispy, mix in the grated garlic and ginger. Then, add the sliced chilli and the curry paste, both to taste. Fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. If needed, add a little more oil to prevent it from catching. Pour in the cooked chopped tomato, the remaining coconut cream, and the diluted stock. Stir until combined and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook for 10-12 minutes until reduced to a curry-like consistency, stirring occasionally. In the final 2 minutes, stir through the shredded spinach until wilted. Remove from the heat on completion. Just before serving, mix in the roast vegetables until coated.
AS TASTY AS CAN BE
Pile up the nutty brown rice and spoon over the loaded curry. Cover in drizzles of coriander coconut cream and garnish with the remaining coriander. If you’d like, sprinkle over any remaining chilli! Yum…
