Ingredients

  • vegetable oil spray
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 medium spring onions, cut into strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon all-spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 100g aubergine, chopped into cubes
  • 100g butternut squash, deseeded and cut into cubes
  • 1 small red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 90g broccoli florets, thinly chopped
  • 2 tins kidney beans in water, drained

  • 400ml low-fat coconut milk
  • half a teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1

Add 4 sprays of oil to a large non-stick pot on low heat. Add the onions, garlic and thyme, and sauté on low heat for 30 seconds.

2

Stir in all-spice powder and curry powder, and gently cook for 1 minute.

3

Stir in all the remaining vegetables and kidney beans, cook on medium heat for 60 seconds, then pour in the coconut milk. Stir well. Information: For some spiciness, add a halved scotch bonnet pepper along with the rest of the veg, then remove along with the thyme before serving.

4

Cover the pot and bring to the boil, then gently simmer on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.

5

Add salt (if using) and pepper, stir and simmer for another 5 minutes, until the veg is has softened and cooked through. Remove the thyme sprigs and serve with a small (75g) portion of steamed brown basmati rice. Information: This dish freezes really well – so why not cook in batches, freeze for up to a month in labelled containers.
