Creamy zucchini and curry rice #madewithwhatyouhave

Here's a recipe to start the week planning your weekly menu, but one that can be transformed into something delicious halfway through the week!

Ideal for variety and to avoid getting bored with the food we prepare. So we can have an exquisite, flavorful, but creative meal at the same time.

Here's a recipe for Wednesday's mid-week rice that, mixed with some vegetables I had at home, with a little broth, a little cream – really, just improvise with what you have. It can be transformed into a delicious side dish or even a main course with some protein on top or on the side.

Here's the recipe:

In a pot, add 1 tablespoon of oil. I used curry-spiced olive oil 💛 from @olaveoliveoils 🌿 which gives everything 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 translucent, then add 1 large grated zucchini (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 week's rice (I recommend that if you cook on Sunday, you make this recipe on Wednesday to ensure your rice is in good condition).

Then gradually add vegetable broth or boiling water until it reaches a creamy texture. Add 1/4 cup of coconut cream or whatever you have + 1 cup of spinach leaves. Stir until the spinach is soft. Add pepper or cheese if you like, and serve!

I recommend topping it with chopped chives and lemon zest! Ughhhh 💘
