For the Rice:

Preparation

1. Firstly, turn on your oven to 356°F.
2. Then peel your sweet potato and slice finely. The thinner you can cut it, the quicker it will cook.
3. Then in a pan, add 1 tsp of coconut oil and add your sweet potato to it on a low heat. Mix it all together until the coconut oil has melted and covered the sweet potato.
4. Then remove off the heat and put your sweet potato on an oven-proof tray. Sprinkle with around 1/4 of a tsp each of salt and pepper and then put in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flip each piece half way through to make sure it's evenly cooked.
5. In the same pan that you melted the coconut oil in previously, add another tsp of coconut oil on a low heat. While it's melting, start to peel and chop your apples into small chunks and gradually add to the pan, mixing regularly.
6. Then chop your spring onions and celery and add to the pan along with fresh ginger and curry powder.
7. Cook for around 3 minutes then add your boiling water, vegetable stock cube, salt and pepper. Increase the heat until it begins to boil then reduce to a low simmer. Cook for around 20 minutes, stirring often.
8. While your sauce is cooking, begin to cook your rice according to the packet instructions.
9. Check your sweet potato, if it's cooked by now, turn your oven off and leave to keep warm.
10. Once your curry is cooked, add to a food processor with your rice wine vinegar. Blend until smooth and then serve with rice and sweet potato.
