Ingredients

  • 200g chickpeas
  • 120g brown rice
  • 80g red cabbage
  • 80g spinach
  • 8g sriracha
  • 15g lime
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • 1 tsp chipotle chilli flakes & cumin
  • fresh coriander

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the red cabbage and spinach, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the brown rice in plenty of water for 25 minutes until tender, then drain.

  3. 3

    Pat the chickpeas dry and roast at 200°C for 20 minutes until crisp, tossing halfway.

  4. 4

    Rub the protein with chipotle and cumin. Stir the hot sauce and lime into the yoghurt for a smoky crema.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the red cabbage and spinach for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: brown rice first, then the veg and chickpea, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander.
