Chow down on this pork rice bowl brimming with flavour, thanks to the subtle earthiness from our paprika spice blend and fiery kick from the mild chipotle sauce. Serve with some jalapeño avo salsa to really make those rich flavours sing but keep things cool thanks to a generous dollop of yoghurt and bed of fluffy rice.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the 
butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat.
• Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. 
• Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) 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 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!

• Remove from heat, then add mild chipotle sauce and the water (for the beef), tossing to combine.
