       SUNDAY DINNER Vegetable Pilau Special

      1 Cover the rice with boiling water and leave to soak for several hours. Drain, rinse, cover with water, add a little salt and the turmeric; bring to the boil, then lower the heat, and cook for about 20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice tender.

      2 Meanwhile, chop the beans and carrot. Steam them – and the peas – until just tender. Drain and set aside.

      3 Chop the onion and the tomato. Crush the garlic. Grate the ginger finely.

      4 Heat the margarine in a pan and add the onion. Sauté until beginning to brown. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a minute longer. Lower the heat and stir in the spices. Then add the tomato and cook for a minute or two longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the cooked vegetables.

      5 Place half the cooked rice on the bottom of a greased ovenproof dish, spoon the vegetable mixture over it, then top with the other half of the rice. Cover the dish (if it has no lid then use foil) and bake it at 350°F (180°C) Gas Mark 4 for about half an hour. Alternatively, cover with greaseproof paper and microwave for 2 minutes.
