👨🍳 How to Cook
-
Roast the vegetables:
Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss sliced peppers, cherry tomatoes, and sliced onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika (optional). Roast for 25–30 minutes until caramelised and slightly charred.
-
Cook the grains:
Meanwhile, simmer the Pilau Mix in salted water or vegetable stock for around 25 minutes until tender but still with a little bite. Drain well.
-
Combine & finish:
Fold the roasted vegetables through the warm grains, drizzle with olive oil, and season to taste. Garnish with chopped herbs or a squeeze of lemon.
✨ Optional add-ons: Crumbled feta, toasted nuts, or roasted chickpeas for extra protein and texture.
