Ingredients

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 cup gluten-free oats

2.5 cups water

1/2 medium zucchini, grated

1/2 cup cooked black beans

1/4 cup sweetcorn

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp garlic granules

1 tsp salt

2 cups spinach

1/2 avocado (for topping)

Cherry tomatoes, halved (for topping)

2 tbsp soy yoghurt (for topping)

1 tbsp tahini (for topping)

Fresh chives (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the crushed garlic in a non-stick saucepan for 1-2 minutes over medium heat.
  2. Add the oats, water, and grated zucchini. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Stir in the black beans, sweetcorn, turmeric, cumin, garlic granules, and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Add spinach and cook for 1 more minute until wilted.
  5. Serve topped with avocado, cherry tomatoes, soy yoghurt, tahini, and fresh chives.

Notes

  • Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of salt for a rich umami flavor.
  • Replace sweetcorn with peas or omit if preferred.
  • For extra creaminess, stir in vegan yogurt or a spoonful of tahini during cooking.
  • Add nutritional yeast or vegan cheese for a cheesy twist.
  • Can be halved for a smaller, snack-size serving.
