Fresh salsa & fluffy microwave rice
About the recipe
Microwaving is one of the most energy-efficient ways to cook, so I wanted to respond to that with something utterly delicious. Comforting, full of flavour and lots of lovely veg, this reimagined family classic is a thing of joy. I’m stretching the veg by using it in two clever ways – there’s half in the chilli base and the rest is transformed into a quick crunchy salsa. What’s more, there’s 3 of your 5-a-day in every portion – yes, please!
Recipe From
£1 Wonders
By Jamie Oliver
250g minced beef
1 heaped teaspoon ground cumin
olive oil
1 beef stock cube
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 sticks of celery
1-2 mixed chillies
400g butternut squash
red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons tomato purée
1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
1 x 400g tin of kidney beans
1 mug of long grain rice (300g)
If you’ve got fresh soft herbs in the fridge (think mint, parsley, coriander), roughly chop the leaves and toss through the salsa.
Use any remaining butternut squash in these epic Bhaji flatbreads. Or, the next time you turn your oven on, pop it in to roast until lovely and soft, then you can use cooked chunks in soups, curries, pastas, fritters and salads.
