Ingrediants

Roasted Vegetables

1/2 a pumpkin, cut into large chunks

1/2 butternut squash, cut into large chunks

1 large aubergine, cut into large chunks

A glug of olive oil ( enough to coat all the vegetables )

3 tbs of soya sauce

2 tsps of asafoetida (hing)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Rice dish

2 cups of basmati rice

4 cups of water 

2 courgettes, finely diced

1 red pepper

1 tsp vegan marg and 1 tsp of mild olive oil
2 tbsp of dried coriander leaf 

roasted veg seasonings

Method

1. Put the oven onto 180 to preheat.

2. Chop the aubergine, butternut squash and pumpkin into large chunks ( basically make all the chunks around the same size ). 

3. Put the oil, hing, soya sauce, salt and black pepper in a large roasting tin. Use a large spoon or your hands to coat all the vegetables with the mixture.

3. Place in the oven for 40-50 mins for the vegetables to roast. I personally turn the vegetables half way through cooking so they become stickier and the flavour gets more intense. You know they are ready when they are darker in colour with slightly charred edges.

4. When the vegetables are half way through cooking. Chop the courgettes and peppers.
5. In a seperate saucepan add 2 cups of basmati rice and 4 cups of water. Season. Let the water boil and turn it down to a low heat with the lid on for around 12 mins. Check after 10 minutes to see if the water has been evaporated and there are lots of holes in the rice.
6. In a seperate frying pan put 1 tsp of oil and 1 tsp of vegan marg and coriander leaf, add the courgettes and peppers until tender.
7. When both the rice and courgette mixture is ready. Stir the vegetables through the rice.
8 Take out the roasted vegetables and serve the roasted vegetables with the courgette rice.
