1 tin

1 packet
basmati rice
1 tin
pineapple slices
1
cucumber
1
tomato
1 bag
mint
2 clove
garlic
1 packet

1 packet

1 sachet
mild Caribbean jerk seasoning
1
olive oil
¾ cup
water
1 drizzle
white wine vinegar
In a medium saucepan, add the water, coconut milk and a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. 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, drain the pineapple slices. Roughly chop the cucumber, tomato and mint. Finely chop the garlic. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, mild Caribbean jerk seasoning, chicken stock pot and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the pork strips, tossing to coat.
Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook the drained pineapple, turning occasionally, until browned and slightly charred, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a chopping board.
Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the pork strips, in batches, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
TIP: Cooking the pork in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
Roughly chop the charred pineapple. In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, tomato, cucumber and mint. Add a drizzle of olive oil and white wine vinegar. Toss to coat. Season to taste.
Divide the coconut rice between bowls. Top with the sweet and smokey pork. Spoon over the charred pineapple salsa. Serve with a dollop of the mayonnaise.
