Pineapple and green bean rice

Jazz up ready-cooked rice with tender green beans and juicy pineapple. Serve this easy side dish from chef Ravinder Bhogal alongside her roast monkfish with green curry beurre blanc.

Ravinder says: “When you’re hosting and have a million things to do, embrace convenience. Ready-cooked rice is jazzed up with a spiky curry paste and fresh, juicy chunks of pineapple – no one will be able to tell the rice came out of a pouch.”
