Cooking Steps
ā¢ Finely chop garlic. ā¢ In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. ā¢ Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, then cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. ā¢ Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
ā¢ While the rice is cooking, drain sweetcorn. ā¢ Drain and rinse red kidney beans. Grate carrot. Set aside. ā¢ Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. ā¢ While the corn is cooking, roughly chop baby spinach leaves and tomato. Thinly slice red onion.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.
ā¢ In a small heatproof bowl, combine onion, the white wine vinegar, a splash of water and a good pinch of sugar and salt. ā¢ Microwave the pickled onion mixture in 30 second bursts, until softened. ā¢ To the bowl with the charred corn, add spinach and tomato. Drizzle with olive oil. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
ā¢ Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. ā¢ Cook carrot, stirring, until tender, 2-3 minutes.
ā¢ SPICY! The spice blend is mild, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. Add Tex-Mex spice blend, tomato paste and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. ā¢ Stir in kidney beans, mild chipotle sauce (see ingredients), the water (for the beans), the brown sugar and the plant-based butter. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. ā¢ Season, then sprinkle evenly with Cheddar cheese. Cover with a lid or foil until cheese is slightly melted, 2-3 minutes.
ā¢ Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with beans. ā¢ Serve with charred corn salsa. ā¢ Top with pickled onion to serve. Enjoy!
