Ingredients

·      1 cup/240ml of long grain rice

·      450g/1lb of extra lean ground turkey or can use beef or a meat alternative

·      1 onion, finely chopped

·      1 clove of garlic, crushed

·      1 red pepper, finely chopped

·      1 jalapeno, seeds removed and finely chopped

·      1 cup/240ml of crushed tomatoes

·      2 tbs of tomato paste

·      1 cup/240ml of water

·      1 tbs of brown sugar (3 syns) or use sweetener to make syn free

·      2 tsp of chilli powder

·      2 tsp of cumin powder

·      1 tsp of paprika

·      ¼ tsp of cayenne

·      ½ tsp of onion powder

·      ½ tsp of garlic powder

·      1 cup (240ml) of black beans (canned)

·      1 cup (240ml) of sweet corn (canned)

·      salt and black pepper

·      Fresh chopped coriander

Method

1.   Add the rice to a saucepan, add 2 cups/480ml of water, season with salt and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until liquid is almost absorbed, turn off heat, add lid and leave and set aside (steam trapped under lid will cook the rice perfectly)

2.   Add the ground turkey, onion, crushed garlic, and red pepper to a deep frying pan over a medium high heat and cook until browned.

3.   Add the jalapeno, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, water, brown sugar and all the spices and mix. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add in black beans and sweetcorn and simmer covered for 20mins. (Check half way through, just to ensure sauce is not reducing too fast)

4.   Remove lid, then stir in cooked rice, till all combined.

5.   Sprinkle with some fresh chopped coriander

6.   Spoon into bowls and add your choice of toppings (see notes for toppings)

7.   Enjoy
