Crispy One-Pot Veggie Rice

Ingredients

Onion1
Red Pepper1
Garlic Clove7
Tomato2
Courgette1
Smoked Paprika2 tsp
Vegetable Stock800 ml
Rice250 g
Parsley50 g
Olive Oil2 tbsp
Coconut Yoghurt100 g
Flaked Almond20 g
Lemon1

Method

1

First, start with your veg. Dice the onion, red pepper, courgette, and tomatoes. Grate half of your garlic cloves and grate and slice one lemon.

2

Using a large wide cast iron pan, heat up a large glug of oil and add in the onion. Cook on medium-high heat for 10 mins until caramelised and golden.

3

Add in the red pepper, courgette, smoked paprika, and your grated garlic. Give it a good mix. Continue cooking for 4 mins until the vegetables are softened and have some colour on them.

4

Add in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 5 mins.

5

Pour in the vegetable stock and generously season with salt.

6

Pour in the rice and give it one stir, make sure not to stir more than once because it will release the starch and make the rice stodgy.

7

Cook on the highest heat for 10 mins.

8

Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley.

9

Lower the heat to medium, put a lid on your pot, and cook for a further 5 mins.

10

Lower the heat to the lowest and cook for 10-15 mins, until you hear the rice starting to sizzle and crackle.

11

Turn off the heat and allow it to rest for 5 mins with the lid on.

12

Blitz up the remaining garlic with a large pinch of salt in a food processor. Once it’s a smooth paste slowly drizzle in the olive oil to form an extremely garlicky sauce. Mix this with the coconut yoghurt. While you're doing that, toast your flaked almonds in a dry frying pan.

13

Top the rice with parsley, flaked almonds, and a few generous dollops of the garlicky yoghurt. Finally, sprinkle over the lemon zest and serve with lemon wedges.
