Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the plant-based butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, roughly chop cucumber and tomato. Finely chop celery. • Drain and rinse black beans (see ingredients).
• In a medium bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook beef mince and celery, breaking mince up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.
• Add black beans, Tex-Mex spice blend and tomato paste to the pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the brown sugar and crushed & sieved tomatoes (see ingredients) and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat!
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with Mexican beef mince with black beans and cucumber salsa. • Dollop over plant-based mayo and tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
