1 box
coconut milk
1 packet
basmati rice
1
carrot
½ tin
sweetcorn
½
lime
1 packet
beef mince
½ packet
tomato paste
1 packet
Chilli Jam
(Contains: Sulphites; )
1 bag
baby spinach leaves
2 clove
garlic
½
fresh chilli (optional)
1 sachet
Mild Caribbean Jerk Seasoning
1
olive oil
¼ tsp
salt
¾ cup
water (for the rice)
¾ cup
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 the 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!
• Meanwhile, grate carrot. Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice fresh chilli (if using). Slice lime into wedges. Drain sweetcorn (see ingredients).
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.
• 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. • Add chilli jam, water (for the beef) and the salt. Stir to combine and simmer until heated through, 2 minutes.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the mixture looks too thick.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop baby spinach leaves. • Add baby spinach, 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 and any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
