Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

This sticky coconut rice works perfectly with the sharp coriander and lime dressing, with a good contrast from the sweetness of the squash and crunch from the cashews. It doubles up easily if you’re feeding more people.

Ingredients

150g jasmine rice
1 x 400ml tin of coconut milk
1 tbsp soy sauce
2.5cm ginger, grated
1 clove of garlic
300g squash, peeled and cut into 1cm cubes
300g broccoli, cut into florets
30g toasted cashews, to serve
For the dressing:
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp soy sauce
2.5cm ginger, grated
1 red chilli, finely chopped
20g fresh coriander, finely chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6.

Mix the rice, coconut milk, soy sauce, ginger and garlic in a small roasting tin and top with the squash. Cover tightly with foil, then transfer to the oven and cook for 45 minutes.

Top the rice and squash with the broccoli, then re-cover and return to the oven for a final 15 minutes. Pop the cashew nuts into the oven on a small tray to toast at the same time.

Mix together the oil, lime juice, soy sauce, ginger, chilli and coriander, adjusting the soy and lime juice to taste.

Tip the dressing over the hot broccoli, rice and squash, scatter with the toasted cashews and serve hot.

Note: Deseed the chilli if you prefer a less hot dressing.
