Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion
1 broccoli
1 courgette
2 garlic cloves
200 g Oddbox Thai Red Curry Paste
300 ml vegetable stock
1 can haricot beans (240g drained weight)
200 g spinach
15 g fresh coriander
250 g rice (1 packet pre-cooked steamed rice)
salt
Recipe:
Peel and dice the onion, dice the courgette into chunks roughly 2cm big and cut the broccoli into small florets.
Heat the olive oil in a large casserole dish. Fry the onion, broccoli and courgette over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
Finely chop the garlic, then add it to the pan along with the Thai Red Curry Paste and the stock. Simmer over a low heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Add the drained haricot beans and the spinach. Cover with a lid to allow the spinach to wilt (this should take about 5 minutes).
Meanwhile, reheat the rice and roughly chop the coriander.
Once the spinach has wilted, the casserole is ready. Season to taste, then divide the rice and the casserole onto plates and top with fresh coriander. Enjoy!
To make the rice instead of using pre-cooked rice:
Rinse 150g of rice under cold water until the water comes out clear. Tip 150g of rice into a pan. Add 300ml water (double the volume of water to rice), plus a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, stir once and put a lid on. Turn the heat down to as low as possible and simmer for 10 minutes. Do not take the lid off. Try a grain of rice after 10 minutes - keep cooking for another couple of minutes if it isn’t quite ready - then turn the heat off. Fluff the rice with a fork and dish up.
