Creamy squash and curry rice #withwhatisavailable

I'm leaving you with this recipe to start the week by planning a weekly menu, but that can be transformed into something delicious midweek!

Ideal for a change of pace and avoiding boredom with the food we prepare. So we can have a delicious, tasty, yet creative meal at the same time.

Here's this recipe for Wednesday's midweek rice, mixed with some vegetables I had at home, a little broth, a little cream—just improvise with whatever you have. It can be transformed into a delicious side dish or even as a main course, paired with a protein dish on top or on the side.

I leave you the recipe:

In a pot, put 1 tablespoon of oil. I used curry-spiced olive oil 💛 from @olaveoliveoils 🌿 which leaves everything with a delicious but very subtle aroma that doesn't overpower the other ingredients 🫶🏼

Heat well and add 1 onion cut into very small cubes, sauté until soft and transparent, then add 1 large zucchini previously grated (you can use two small ones or any other vegetable you have at home) + 1 cup of finely chopped spinach stems.

Season with salt, a pinch of cumin and curry.

Sauté for 3 minutes and add the rice for the week (I recommend that if you cook on Sunday, make this recipe on Wednesday to ensure that your rice is in good condition)

Then, slowly add vegetable broth or boiling water until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup coconut cream or whatever you have, plus 1 cup spinach leaves. Stir until the spinach is tender, add pepper or cheese if you like, and serve!

I recommend adding chopped chives and lemon zest on top! Phew!
