Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 2 onions (320g), finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp finely grated ginger
  • 3 large garlic cloves, finely grated
  • 1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced
  • 2 x 400g cans butter beans
  • 2 tsp vegan bouillon powder
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tbsp medium curry powder
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 aubergine (320g), cut into cubes
  • 15g coriander, chopped
  • 250g pouch cooked wholegrain rice

For the raita

  • 2 small bananas, peeled and finely chopped
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • ¼ cucumber, finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion (60g), finely chopped
  • 1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced

Instructions

Step 1: Prep and Cook Broccoli and Spaghetti
Start by bringing a pot of slightly salted water to a boil. Plunge the broccoli into the boiling water for 1 minute and 30 seconds until it’s perfectly tender. Drain and keep aside. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti as per the instructions on the package, making sure to save a bit of the pasta water for later. Then, drain the spaghetti and set it aside.

Step 2: Flavor the Oil
In a large frying pan, warm the oil on a low flame. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes to infuse the oil with garlic flavor. Then, remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and discard it, leaving the flavored oil in the pan.

Step 3: Cook Tomatoes and Prawns
Turn the heat up to medium and add the tomatoes to the pan. Let them cook for 5 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices. Stir in the prawns and let them cook until they turn pink, which should take about 2 minutes. Next, add the harissa and lemon zest, mixing well to ensure everything is coated nicely.

Step 4: Combine and Serve
Finally, mix the cooked spaghetti into the pan along with a ladleful of the pasta cooking water. Toss everything well to combine. Add the cooked broccoli into the mix, season according to taste, and serve immediately.
