Ingredients

  • 250g basmati rice
  • 500g frozen Cooks’ Ingredients Butternut Squash
  • 270g pack cherry vine tomatoes, off the vine
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve
  • 3 tbsp Belazu Flavour Hacks Roasted Garlic
  • 500ml vegetable stock, hot
  • 3 tbsp pine nuts
  • 2 x 285g packs No.1 Burrata, drained
  • Basil leaves, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. Rinse the rice well, then leave to soak in cold water.

  2. Place the butternut squash chunks and cherry tomatoes into a medium roasting tin or ovenproof dish. Drizzle over 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, season well, then roast for 10 minutes. Drain the rice and stir into the vegetables with the garlic paste. Pour over the hot stock and bake for 20 minutes.

  3. Scatter over the pine nuts and return to the oven for 10 minutes more, until the rice is cooked through and starting to crisp and the pine nuts are golden.

  4. Tear the burrata over the top of the rice and drizzle with a little more extra virgin olive oil. Grind over some black pepper, scatter with basil leaves and serve.

Cook’s tip

Soaking rice shortens its cooking time – try it next time you make a pilaf or kedgeree. You’ll need to reduce the liquid just a little.
