Equipment

Large pan, frying pan

Ingredients

  • 400g tin kidney beans
  • 2 tsp tomato purée
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
  • 160g/5¾oz frozen spinach, thawed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 250g/9oz Tenderstem broccoli
  • 100g/3½oz cooked short-grain brown rice
  • 50g/1¾oz kimchi
  • 2 spring onions, sliced on an angle
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Add the beans (including their liquid), tomato purée, gochujang and garlic to a large pan on a medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 6–7 minutes, stirring gently.

  2. Add the spinach and cook for another 5 minutes. Check the seasoning and adjust as needed (the liquid from tinned beans is salty so you won't need much added salt, if any).

  3. In a frying pan on a medium heat, heat the olive oil and add the Tenderstem broccoli. Season with salt and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until lightly coloured and cooked through. There should be a little bite still.

  4. Serve the beans and the broccoli in large bowls in the style of a buddha bowl/grain bowl (separating out each ingredient in a circle around the bowl) with hot brown rice, kimchi, spring onions and sesame seeds.
