• Boil the kettle. • Roughly chop brown onion. Grate carrot. Thinly slice celery. Drain and rinse red kidney beans.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.

• Add basmati rice and kidney beans to pan, stirring to coat. Stir in vegetable stock powder and the boiling water (1 & 3/4 cups for 2 people / 3 & 1/2 cups for 4 people). • Cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 16 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Uncover, then stir through baby spinach leaves and half the Cheddar cheese. Season with pepper
