A lovely summery and light meal. I first ate this in a cafe in Oxford, UK and set about perfecting a version at home. Enjoy !

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 x butternut squash
4 x small beetroot (vacuum pack from tesco)
1 x sweet potato
1 x pack of cherry tomatoes
1 x can of chick peas
Paprika, cumin, tumeric, coriander leaf and ginger
175g of the rice of your choice
Optional: sultanas to mix into the rice.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  • Chop up the vegetables into reasonably sized chunks. The chunkier the better for roasting. Spread out evenly in a *large* roasting tin. NOT THE CHERRY TOMATOES OR CHICKPEAS.
  • Fill up a cup (small white IKEA variety works fine) half-full with olive oil and then add the following herbs in reasonable quantities: paprika, cumin, tumeric, coriander leaf, ginger (and anything else vaguely Indian sounding).
  • Pour the oil mixture over the vegetables.
  • Put roasting tin in the oven and roast for approximately 40 minutes. Approximately 20 minutes in, stir the veg around a bit to make sure they roast evenly.
  • After 40 minutes remove tin, add can of chickpeas and the cherry tomatoes.
  • Put tin back into the oven for another 10-15 minutes. At this stage you should also set the rice cooking.
  • Serve the roasted vegetables on a bed of rice.
