Cooking Instructions
Get prepping!
- Peel and finely dice the onions, and peel and crush the garlic. Finely chop the thyme leaves.
Make your chilli
- Spritz a large non-stick saucepan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry the onions for 5-7 mins.
- Stir in the garlic and half the thyme and cook for 2 mins.
- Add the mince, tomato purée and all but a pinch of the jerk seasoning and cook for 3-4 mins, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon, until browned.
- Tip in the chopped tomatoes. Crumble in half the stock cube, pour in 100ml water (use all the stock and 150ml water for 4 portions) and stir well. Simmer for 8-12 mins until the sauce reduces to coat the mince.
Simmer that rice
- Meanwhile, cook the rice in boiling water for 10-12 mins, then drain.
Sort the drizzle & salsa
- At the same time, grate the lime zest into a bowl, add the yogurt, stir well and set aside.
- Halve the tomatoes and put them into a bowl with the remaining jerk seasoning (to taste) and the rest of the thyme. Squeeze in the lime juice (to taste) and stir well.
Plate up
- Serve the jerk-style chilli on the rice, top with the tomato salsa and drizzle over the lime yogurt.
