Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 the butter with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, the 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 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, slice capsicum into thin strips. • Thinly slice brown onion (see ingredients). • Drain sweetcorn.
• Drain and rinse black beans. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beans, stirring occasionally, until blistered, 3-4 minutes.
• SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot! Add less if sensitive to heat. Stir in Mexican Fiesta spice blend, tomato paste (see ingredients), the brown sugar and remaining butter, cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add a splash of water. Cook until thickened, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl. Cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook capsicum, corn and onion, tossing, until softened and browned, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with spiced black beans, veggies, shredded Cheddar cheese and pickled jalapenos. • Dollop over tomato relish and light sour cream to serve. Enjoy!
