Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.

  2. Heat the oil and butter in an ovenproof casserole, then fry the onions gently for 8–10 minutes, until softened and caramelised. Add the butternut squash, cauliflower florets and any leaves and fry for a further 5 minutes until they begin to colour. Stir in the spices, rice and stock. Cover with a lid, then bake for 30 minutes.

  3. Remove from the oven and leave to stand for 10 minutes. Stir through the spinach and serve topped with the flaked almonds.

Recipe Tips

Cauliflower leaves shouldn’t end up in the bin! They’re delicious in this dish, or try roasting them with a little olive oil and sea salt.
