A single portion of Nigerian cooking, ready in 23 minutes with 8 minutes of prep. Vegan, and written for one, so there is nothing to halve. It brings some heat.

Method

  1. 1

    Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.

  2. 2

    Simmer the sweet potato in 150ml water for 8 minutes until nearly tender, then add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 2 minutes. (Tomato's acidity slows raw veg softening, so it goes in second.)

  3. 3

    Stir in the peanut butter and chilli flakes until smooth, then simmer for 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  5. 5

    Stir in the spinach until wilted and serve over the rice.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 140 g spinach and ¾ tin of chopped tomato. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
