Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, melt plant-based butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, water and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, finely chop brown onion. Roughly chop tomato and cucumber. Drain sweetcorn. Drain and rinse red kidney beans. • Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring, until starting to soften, 3-4 minutes. Add mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add red kidney beans, diced tomatoes with garlic & onion (see ingredients) and coconut milk. Simmer until slightly thickened, 4-6 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. • Meanwhile, to the bowl with the corn, add tomato and cucumber. Drizzle with white wine vinegar and olive oil. Toss to coat. Season to taste.
• Pick and roughly chop mint leaves. • Divide garlic rice and Caribbean beans between bowls. Top with the tomato-corn salsa. Garnish with mint. • Serve with corn chips.
TIP: Use the corn chips to scoop up the beans!
