Cooking Steps
Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the 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!
While the rice is cooking, drain the sweetcorn (see ingredients). Roughly chop the cucumber. Grate the carrot.
In a small bowl, combine the cucumber and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and set aside.
SPICY! The spice blend is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook the sweetcorn and carrot until lightly browned and tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the pork mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, Mexican Fiesta spice blend and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are "popping" out.
Reduce the frying pan to a medium heat, then add the crushed & sieved tomatoes (see ingredients) and simmer until thickened, 5-6 minutes. Stir through the salt and remaining butter. Season with pepper.
Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the pork chilli, dressed cucumber, shredded Cheddar cheese and Greek-style yoghurt.
