Cooking Steps
• Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. • Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. • While rice is cooking, pat firm tofu dry with paper towel. Cut firm tofu (see ingredients) into 2cm chunks. Reserve pineapple juice (2 tbs for 2P / 1/4 cup for 4P), then drain pineapple slices.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook pineapple slices until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes each side. Tranfer to a plate, then roughly chop pineapple. • Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook tofu, tossing occasionally, until browned and warmed through 3-5 minutes. Season to taste. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• While bacon is cooking, combine slaw mix, pineapple, reserved pineapple juice and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. Season to taste. • Wipe out the frying pan and return to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook coconut milk, vegetable stock powder and remaining jerk seasoning and simmer until thickened slightly, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
• Add bacon to pineapple slaw. Stir baby spinach leaves through rice. • Divide spinach rice and bacon-pineapple slaw between bowls. • Top with Caribbean tofu, then spoon over coconut sauce. Enjoy!
