Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400F degrees.

Place the basmati rice in a large saucepan, add a pinch of salt and enough cold water to cover the rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 12 minutes. Drain if needed. Set aside and keep warm.

Arrange the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil. Sprinkle over the turmeric and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.

Add the green peppers to the baking sheet with the cauliflower and cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until the veggies are softened and beginning to brown.

In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Dissolve the stock cubes and tomato puree in the hot water. Remove from heat and set aside.

Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan. Add the sliced onion, and cook for 5-6 minutes until the onion has begun to turn golden and soften.
