Smoky rice & bean one-pot

What you need

• ·80g basmati rice
• ·250g black beans
• ·150g frozen edamame
• ·150g mixed peppers
• ·100g sweetcorn
• ·200g passata
• ·100g onions
• ·1 avocado
• ·10g ground spices (cumin, paprika, turmeric)
• ·5g stock cubes
• ·8g olive oil

Method

1. 1Onion and peppers in the oil, 8 minutes, until the peppers have soft dark patches.
2. 2Spices for a minute, then the dry rice stirred through the oil for another — every grain coated before liquid goes in.
3. 3Passata, stock and 400ml water. Bring up, then lowest heat, lid on, 18 minutes, no stirring.
4. 4Beans, edamame and corn scattered on top for the last 5 with the lid back on so they steam through.
5. 5Lid off, heat up for 2 minutes to catch the bottom, then fork it up and let it sit 5 minutes. Avocado on at the table.

The catch on the bottom is the point, not a mistake. Leave it the extra two minutes.
