Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C / fan 180C / gas mark 6. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked. Add the spinach for the final 1-2 mins of cooking, then drain altogether.
  2. Dice the sweet potato into 1cm cubes (peel optional). Place on a lined baking tray and toss with 1 tbsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins, until soft and golden brown.
  3. Place the pea and fava chunks in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Leave to rehydrate for 10 mins, until soft, then drain. Roughly dice the onion and peppers. Finely chop or grate the ginger. Thinly slice the spring onions.
  4. Heat a large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins, then add the pea and fava chunks and cook for 6-8 mins, until golden.
  5. Add the ginger and curry paste to the pan. Cook for 1 min, then add the peppers, coconut milk, cashew butter and 200ml hot water. Crumble in the stock cube and stir. Simmer for 8-10 mins, until thickened. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Once cooked, stir through the roasted sweet potato.
  6. Serve the satay curry with spinach rice. Sprinkle over the spring onions.
