Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• Finely chop garlic. 
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) 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 and 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!  

Cook the veggies
2

• While the rice is cooking, trim baby broccoli. Thinly slice carrot and zucchini into half-moons. 
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook baby broccoli, carrot and zucchini until tender, 5-6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl.
• Meanwhile, cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. 


Little cooks: Help rinse the veggies!

Cook the chicken
3

• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until browned and cooked through (no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then add mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add coconut milk, the water (for the chicken) and stock concentrate. Simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.
• Return cooked veggies to the pan, then stir in baby spinach leaves and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste. 

Finish & serve
4

• Divide garlic rice between bowls.
• Top with Caribbean chicken and coconut stew. 
• Sprinkle with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy! 


Little cooks: Add the finishing touch and sprinkle over the peanuts!
