Main Ingredients

500g Boil in the Bag Asda Long Grain Rice (4 pack)

2 medium carrots, quartered (about 200g)

400g tin Asda Chopped Tomatoes

400g pack Plant Based by Asda Meat-Free Meatballs (frozen)

400g tin Asda Red Kidney Beans, drained

From your store cupboard

1 tsp Cook by Asda Ground Cumin

1 tsp Cook by Asda Smoked Paprika

1 low-salt beef stock cube

Method

Cook the rice according to pack instructions, adding the carrots to the water too, to save time. Remove the carrots once very soft and mash well with a fork.

Meanwhile, add the chopped tomatoes, cumin, paprika and stock cube to a large saucepan. Fill the tomato can halfway with water then stir in along with the mashed carrot and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and blitz with a hand blender until smooth.

Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer over a medium heat for 10–12 minutes, covered, until the meatballs are cooked through. Stir in the kidney beans and cook, uncovered, for another 2 mins.

To serve, add the rice to bowls and spoon over the meatballs and scatter with the pepper. Serve with lime wedges and chopped fresh coriander, if you like.
