Great as a side (and perfect as a toddler meal, too!), this easy dish is both tasty and quick to make.

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 oz carrot ((2oz is approx 1/2 or 1 small carrot))
  • 2 oz zucchini (courgette (2oz is around 1/3-1/2 a zucchini))
  • 1 oz spinach (a large handful)
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil (approximately)
  • 3/4 cup cooked rice (approx, suggest basmati)
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk ((1/4 cup is 4tbsp) approx)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Grate the carrot and zucchini/courgette with fine side of the grater and roughly chop the spinach.
  2. 2Warm a little oil in a small skillet/frying pan over a medium heat.
  3. 3Add the carrot and zucchini and cook for a couple minutes, stirring regularly, so that the vegetables soften.
  4. 4Add the spinach to the pan, if using, and stir to wilt down.
  5. 5Add the coconut milk then rice and stir so that vegetables are well mixed through. Cook a minute or two to warm through and evaporate off some of the liquid.
