One-pot favourites for busy days

A pot of rice, a handful of vegetables and a little patience can turn a busy evening into a moment worth sitting down for.

Start with what you have

Choose seasonal vegetables, rinse your rice and keep the preparation simple. Cut vegetables into similar sizes so they cook evenly.

Make space for flavour

Let whole spices warm gently in the pan before adding the vegetables and rice. Give the finished pot a few minutes to rest before fluffing and serving.

Bring everyone to the table

Add a bowl of plain yoghurt, a squeeze of lime or a simple chopped salad. A meal does not need many dishes to feel generous.
