Ingredients

1 small pumpkin/butternut squash - remove seeds

1 tbsp low cal spray oil

2 garlic cloves

8 spring onions

120g basmati/wholegrain rice

2 tsp ground cumin

small handful coriander, roughly chopped

1 Egg (beaten)

Soy Sauce

Method

Heat oven to 180°/160° fan/gas 4. Chop up the pumpkin or squash into cubes. Put it on a baking tray, spray with low-cal spray oil and roast for 30 mins. Put the garlic in a sandwich bag, then bash lightly with a rolling pin until it’s crushed. Cook rice according to instructions on the pack.

Slice the spring onions. Spray a pan with low cal spray oil and heat. Add your rice to the pan and warm through. Add pumpkin, spring onions and garlic. Keep a small amount of spring onions separate to garnish at the end.

Make a small, round, space in the middle of the pan and add your egg. Scramble in the middle of the pan and then mix through the rice.

Add a splash of soy sauce to the rice and mix through. Serve in a bowl and garnish with some uncooked spring onion for extra flavor.
