Instructions

Cook the Rice
1

Boil a full kettle. Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

Rinse the brown basmati rice in a sieve. Pour the boiled water (2p: 375ml / 4p: 750m) into a medium saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt and bring back to the boil on high heat. Add the brown rice, then reduce the heat to low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 20-25 mins.

Drain in a sieve, then return to the saucepan and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.

Roast the Butternut Squash
2

While the rice cooks, place the butternut squash onto a baking tray and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer.

Roast on the top shelf of your oven until soft and golden, 18-20 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.

Prepare
3

Meanwhile, halve the mangetout widthways.

Zest the whole lime, then juice one half and cut the other half into wedges.

Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil). Dry-fry the desiccated coconut until lightly toasted, 1-2 mins. Transfer to a small bowl. 

Start the Curry
4

Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil (no need to clean). Stir-fry the mangetout, 2 mins.

Stir in the yellow Thai style paste, coconut milk, veg stock paste and water (2p: 50ml / 4p: 100ml).

Stir to dissolve the stock and simmer, 3-4 mins.

Add the Veg
5

Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted, 1-2 mins.

Once the butternut has roasted, add to the pan with the lime juice and stir through gently, making sure it’s piping hot.

Serve
6

Fluff up the rice with a fork, then stir through the lime zest and half the desiccated coconut.

Serve your yellow Thai inspired butternut squash curry next to the rice.

Garnish with the remaining toasted coconut and a lime wedge.
