1 tin
coconut milk
1 packet
basmati rice
(May be present: Wheat, Gluten, Soy.)
1
carrot
2 clove
garlic
1 tin
sweetcorn
1 tin
pineapple slices
1 packet
beef mince
1 packet
mango chutney
(Contains: Tree Nuts; May be present: Eggs.)
1 packet
tomato paste
1 bag
mint
1 sachet
mild Caribbean jerk seasoning
1
olive oil
¾ cup
water (for the rice)
¾ cup
water (for the beef)
In a medium saucepan, add the coconut milk, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then add the basmati rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat. 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!
While the rice is cooking, grate the carrot. Finely chop the garlic. Drain the sweetcorn. Drain and roughly chop the pineapple slices. Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook the sweetcorn and pineapple pieces until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are popping" out."
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. Add the carrot, garlic and mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
Add the mango chutney, tomato paste, water (for the beef), a pinch of salt and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) to the beef mince. Stir to combine and simmer until heated through, 2 minutes.
TIP: If you prefer a saucier chilli, stir in 1-2 tbs of water just before serving.
While the chilli is simmering, pick and roughly chop the mint leaves. To the bowl with the corn and pineapple, add the mint and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, then season to taste.
Divide the Jamaican-spiced beef chilli, coconut rice and pineapple-mint salsa between bowls. Garnish the rice with the reserved mint to serve.
