Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook the Rice
1

a) Boil a half-full kettle. Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 1cm chunks.

b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with ¼ tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins. 

c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

Get Frying
2

a) In the meantime, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

b) Once hot, add the pork mince and pepper. Fry until the mince has browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks.

c) When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Finish the Prep
3

a) While the mince is frying, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

b) Cut the tomato into 1cm chunks. Zest and cut the lime into wedges. Thinly slice the spring onion.

c) In a medium bowl, add the tomato, spring onion, a squeeze of lime juice, sugar and olive oil for the salsa (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside.

Add the Flavour
4

a) Once cooked, add the tomato puree, garlic and Mexican style spice mix to the pork and fry, 1-2 mins. 

b) Stir through the smoky base paste, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

c) Bring up to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins. 

Finishing Touches
5

a) Once the pork has cooked, remove it from the heat and add a squeeze of lime juice and butter (see pantry for amount).

b) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if your sauce is looking a little thick. 

Serve Up
6

a) Fluff up the rice with a fork and stir through the lime zest. Share the zesty rice between your bowls.

b) Top with your smoky Mexican style pork

c) Top with your tomato salsa. Serve with any remaining lime wedges for squeezing over.
