Cooking Steps
• Finely chop onion (see ingredients). • Grate carrot. Drain sweetcorn. • Boil the kettle.
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook onion and beef mince, breaking up mince with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add carrot and cook, stirring until, tender, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in garlic paste and mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before adding the garlic paste.
• Add basmati rice and corn to pan, stirring to coat. Add chicken-style stock powder and the boiling water (1 1/3 cups for 2 people / 3 1/2 cups for 4 people). • Bring to the boil then cover with a lid (or foil) and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 16-20 minutes. • Stir through baby spinach leaves. Season with pepper.
• Divide Caribbean beef and veggie rice between bowls. • Tear over coriander. Top with coconut sweet chilli mayonnaise and chilli flakes to serve (if using). Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: Most found the Caribbean jerk seasoning and coconut sweet chilli mayo a standout combination, though some felt the overall dish was mild and needed a flavour boost.
- Ease of prep: This is a genuinely easy one-pot meal with minimal washing up, and many found it quick enough for a busy weeknight.
- Suggestions: Several reviewers added extra chilli flakes, kecap manis, kidney beans, or pineapple to lift the flavour; one tip is to reduce the water slightly if the rice turns out too wet, and chopping the carrot to roughly the same size as the corn helps with even cooking. A few also noted the rice may need an extra 10 minutes beyond the suggested simmer time.
- Leftovers: This dish reheats well and keeps nicely, with several reviewers enjoying it cold or reheated for lunch the next day; one reviewer noted it freezes well too.
- Portions: Most found the meal satisfying and generous, though a handful felt the mayo could be more generous and a few wanted extra vegetables stirred through.
