Cooking Steps
• Half-fill a medium saucepan with water. Add brown rice and a generous pinch of salt. • Bring to the boil, over high heat and cook, uncovered, until tender, 25-30 minutes. • Drain rice and return to the saucepan.
Custom Recipe: If you’ve swapped to beef mince, combine beef in the same way as the pork.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. • Transfer caramelised onion to the brown rice along with zesty chilli salt. Toss to combine. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Custom Recipe: Cook beef meatballs in the same way as above.
• In a second medium bowl, combine radish, cucumber, baby spinach and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide caramelised onion brown rice between bowls. • Top with chipotle pork meatballs and cucumber salsa. • Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The caramelised onion brown rice was a standout, with several reviewers noting it transformed the rice into something genuinely delicious. The chipotle meatballs were well received, though some found the overall spice level mild rather than hot.
- Ease of prep: The recipe involves a few steps and the brown rice takes time, so allow extra time on a weeknight; one reviewer suggested saving it for a weekend cook.
- Suggestions: Add more chipotle sauce to the meatballs for extra flavour, and consider using a fattier mince if you find the meatballs a little dry. Some reviewers enjoyed swapping the yoghurt for mayo or adding chopped pear to the salsa for a fresh twist.
- Portions: A few reviewers felt the meatball quantity per serving was a little light, and suggested adding extra to the mix to make it more filling.
