Instructions

1

Boil the water (amount specified in the ingredient list) in a pot with a pinch of salt. Once boiling, pour in the rice, turn the heat to its lowest setting and put a lid on. Leave your rice on low heat for 10 mins, then rest off the heat for 10 mins. Tip: Do not lift the lid until the whole 20 mins are up or the rice won’t cook.

Prep veggies.
2

Peel and cut the onion in half through the root then slice into thin half moon shapes. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press if you have one). Chop the tomato into 2cm cubes. Cut the very tops and bottoms off the green beans, and chop into three pieces.

Cook onions.
3

Heat a splash of olive oil in a large frying pan on medium-low heat. Add your onions with a pinch of salt and cook gently for 8 mins. In the last 2 mins add the poudre de colombo and your garlic.

Boil sweet potato.
4

Meanwhile, boil another pot of water with a pinch of salt. Peel and chop the sweet potato into roughly 1cm cubes. Boil your sweet potato for 10 mins and then drain.

Cook veggies.
5

Add your sweet potato, tomato and green beans to your onion mixture. Add the water (amount specified in the ingredient list), place a lid on the pan and cook on low heat for 6 mins. Tip: If you don’t have a lid, you can always place a baking tray on top of the pan. Meanwhile, roughly chop the coriander and mint.

6

Pour your rice and three-quarters of the almonds into the pan and mix everything together. Squeeze over a dash of lime juice. Take off the heat, crumble in the feta and stir through your herbs.

7

Top with your remaining almonds and tuck in!
