Cooking Steps

1

Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 the plant-based butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

While the rice is cooking, grate the carrot. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves and tomato. Thinly slice the spring onion.

When the rice has 10 minutes time remaining, return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the carrot until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the BBQ marinated jackfruit, coconut milk, remaining butter and water (for the sauce) and simmer until reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
