Shallots are slightly more delicate and have a more refined flavour than regular onions. So you can use them in much the same way as you would onions - and, with very little effort, take your dish to the next level!

Preheat the oven to 220°C and prepare the stock. Slice the courgette into 1cm thick crescents. Cut the head of the broccoli into florets and dice the stem. Halve the mushrooms. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl along with half a teaspoon of yellow curry spices per person. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat.
Transfer the vegetables to a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 - 18 minutes. Meanwhile, set aside (per person) 25ml coconut milk and 100ml stock to use later for the sauce. Transfer the rest of the coconut milk and stock to a pot or saucepan.
Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low, before adding the rice to the pan. Boil the rice for 10 - 12 minutes, covered, then drain if needed and set aside (see Tip).
Tip: this recipe is high in calories. Are you watching your calorie intake? Prepare all of the rice but then just serve two thirds. You can keep the rest of it in the fridge to use the next day.
In the meantime, chop the shallot and finely dice the apple. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry the shallot with the apple for 3 - 4 minutes, then add the rest of the yellow curry spices and fry for 1 minute. Add the flour and fry for another minute, then add the reserved coconut milk and stock. Bring to a boil and allow to reduce for 3 - 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In the meantime, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a small frying pan and fry the egg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve the coconut rice on deep plates with the roasted vegetables and curry sauce. Top with the fried egg and garnish with the crispy onions.
Did you know... broccoli is considered a superfood, and for good reason - not only is it high in vitamins B, C and E, it's also a great source of calcium, potassium and iron.
