Chilli tomato sauce with chickpeas
(at time of publication)
Instructions
Step 1 Put the Tomato and vegetable sauce* into a saucepan with the hot chilli sauce and heat, stirring, until simmering. Add the broccoli, then cover and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 2 Add the chickpeas and heat, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until everything is hot. Serve on rice, topped with sour cream and coriander.
*Tomato and vegetable sauce
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add celery and leek and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes until soft. Add wine and water and bubble for 5 minutes until the liquid has almost evaporated. Add tomatoes and tomato purée and stir with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce starts to thicken.

Variations
- If you're pressed for time, use a microwaveable pack of rice or quick-cooking couscous instead of brown rice.
- You could use any green frozen vegetable – such as beans or peas – instead of the broccoli. Add them straight from the freezer and cook until just tender.
HFG Tip
Chopping the broccoli nice and small will help it cook more quickly.
