Cooking Steps

Cook the Rice
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Stir in the rice and ¼ tsp salt and bring to the boil. 

Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid. 

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

Roll the Balls
2

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the Mexican style spice mix, breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the pork mince.

Season with pepper and mix together with your hands. Roll into evenly-sized balls, 10 per person. Pop the meatballs onto a large baking tray. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Char the Corn
3

Meanwhile, drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.

Once hot, add the sweetcorn and cook until charred, 5-6 mins. Adjust the heat if necessary. Stir only twice during this time - you want the sweetcorn to pick up some nice colour. 

While the corn cooks, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin. Halve the lime.

Time to Salsa
4

In a medium bowl, combine half the lime juice, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper

Add the sweetcorn and tomato to the bowl with the dressing and stir to combine. Set aside. 

In a separate small bowl, combine the soured cream with a good squeeze of the remaining lime juice

Finishing Touches
5

When everything's nearly ready, carefully mix the rocket leaves through the sweetcorn salsa. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy.

Serve
6

Share the rice between your bowls.

Top with the meatballs, corn salsa salad and yoghurt

Elevate me: Sprinkle the chilli flakes, peanuts and coriander over the adult portions (and any kids' portions if they want them too!).
