Ingredients

  • 270g black beans
  • 255g wild rice
  • 80g kale
  • 80g butternut squash
  • 20g lemon juice
  • 5g olive oil
  • 6g garlic
  • fresh parsley, thyme & black pepper
  • 10g butter
  • 5g olive oil
  • lemon wedge

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the kale and butternut squash, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Cook the wild rice blend according to the pack, usually 20-25 minutes, then drain.

  3. 3

    Warm the black beans in a pan with a splash of water and the seasoning, lightly crushing a few to thicken.

  4. 4

    Toss the protein in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs before cooking, and squeeze over more lemon to finish.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the kale and butternut squash for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: wild rice first, then the veg and black bean, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the lemon wedge.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the butter, olive oil for extra energy-dense calories.
