Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large shallow casserole dish. Fry the onion for 10 mins until softened, then stir in the garlic and fry for 1 min.
Stir the red peppers, sweetcorn and butterbeans into the pan and fry for 2 mins. Tip the rice into the pan, stir well and cook for 2 mins until the rice is hot.
Mix the tomato purée with 200ml boiling water in a jug. Pour over the rice and stir to combine. Cover with a lid, turn the heat to low and cook for 5 mins. Remove the lid, scatter over the spring onions and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
