Cooking Steps
• To a medium saucepan, add coconut milk, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt and bring 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 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!
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Roughly chop tomato and cucumber. Cut lime into wedges. 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.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are ‘popping’ out.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat. Cook kidney beans until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste and mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water (for the sauce) and a pinch of sugar and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste. • Meanwhile, to the bowl with the corn, add tomato and cucumber. Add a good squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat. Season to taste.
• Pick and roughly chop mint. • Divide coconut rice and Caribbean beans between bowls. Top with the tomato-corn salsa. Garnish with mint. • Serve with plant-based aioli and any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
