Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F/220C.
- Cook rice per instructions – for what I used, boil with 1 ¾ cups water for 45 min but check in last 10-15 mins as may not need all of that time.
- Put squash, onion and thyme in an oven dish, season, drizzle over some olive oil and roast for round 30-40 mins.
- After 15 minutes, stir and add pepper and zucchini.
- Make up the dressing by whisking all of the dressing ingredients together.
- Stir again before taking out, mix with rice, add dressing and serve with crumbled cheese over the top.
- Works well as a main alone or as a side to eg grilled meat or sausages. Also good cold for lunch.
Notes
- Note portions numbers depend if using as a side or main on it's own - here is as a main.
