Serves 4
olive oil
1/2 cups Jasmine rice
2 1/2 cups water
400g peeled pumpkin
2 brown onion
2 zucchini
2 knobs of ginger
90g baby spinach
50g yellow curry paste
800ml coconut milk
1 cube vegetable stock
2tbs soy sauce
60g peanuts
60g cashews
Rinse the Jasmine rice well. Add the water (check ingredients list for the amount) to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 11-12 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. TIP: Don’t lift the lid while the rice is resting so you don’t lose any steam!
While the rice is cooking, chop the peeled pumpkin into 1 cm cubes. TIP: Chopping the pumpkin small ensures it cooks in the allocated time. Peel and finely slice the brown onion. Chop the zucchini into 1 cm chunks. Finely grate the ginger (unpeeled). Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the pumpkin, brown onion, and zucchini and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the yellow curry paste (use suggested amount) and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. TIP: The curry paste is spicy so add a little less if you prefer your curry mild. Add the ginger and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the coconut milk and crumble in the vegetable stock cube (use suggested amount). Bring to the boil over a high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the pumpkin is soft. Add the soy sauce and baby spinach leaves and stir through for 1 minute, or until just wilted.
While the rice is cooking, roughly chop the roasted peanuts and roasted cashews.
Divide the rice between bowls and top with the Thai coconut pumpkin & veggie curry. Sprinkle over the peanuts and roasted cashews.
