1 tin
coconut milk
1 packet
basmati rice
1
carrot
½ tin
sweetcorn
½
fresh chilli (optional)
½
lime
1 packet
beef mince
1 packet
Chilli Jam
(Contains: Sulphites; )
½ packet
tomato paste
1 bag
salad leaves
1 sachet
Mild Caribbean Jerk Seasoning
2 clove
garlic
1
olive oil
¼ tsp
salt
¾ cup
water (for the rice)
¾ packet
water (for the beef)
• In a medium saucepan, bring coconut milk, water (for the rice) and a pinch of salt to the boil. • Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove the pan from heat and keep covered until 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 carrot. Finely chop garlic. Drain sweetcorn (see ingredients). Thinly slice fresh chilli (if using). Slice lime into wedges.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add carrot and cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. • Add garlic, mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and tomato paste (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.
• Add chilli jam, water (for the beef) and the salt to the beef. Stir to combine and simmer until heated through, 2 minutes.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the mixture looks too thick.
• While the chilli is simmering, roughly chop salad leaves. • Add salad leaves, a squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil to the charred corn. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
TIP: Seasoning is key in this salad, add more lime juice, salt or pepper to taste.
• Divide coconut rice between bowls. Top with Caribbean-spiced beef chilli. • Serve with charred corn salad, fresh chilli and any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
