½ tin
coconut milk
1 packet
jasmine rice
(May be present: Wheat, Gluten, Soy.)
1 packet
green beans
1
red capsicum
2 clove
garlic
1
green chilli
1 packet
beef mince
1 bunch
basil
1
lemon
½ sachet
Thai seasoning
¾ cup
water
1 tbs
olive oil
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C fan-forced. To prepare the ingredients, rinse the Jasmine rice well. Trim the green bean ends, and thinly slice the red capsicum and green chilli (deseeded). Peel and crush the garlic, pick and tear the basil leaves, and cut the lemon into wedges.
In a medium saucepan combine the coconut milk (remember to use the correct amount), water and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil. Once boiling, add the Jasmine rice, cover and reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes, or until tender. Set aside, covered.
Meanwhile, place the green beans on a lined oven tray. Coat in half of the olive oil. Place the green beans in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the red capsicum and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and a bit of the green chilli (to taste) to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, or until soft and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. Add the beef mince and Thai seasoning to the same pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the torn basil.
To serve, fluff the coconut rice with a fork and divide between plates, top with the Thai beef and green beans. Garnish with a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy!
