Ingredients
JERK PORK
- 600g pork scotch steaks (at room temperature)
- 60g jerk marinade
- ½ teaspoon salt
JAMAICAN RICE AND BEANS
- 1 brown onion, finely diced
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1½ cups jasmine rice
- 1½ cups chicken stock
- 1 can coconut cream (shake well before opening)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
SALAD
- ½ cos lettuce
- 1 capsicum
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon vinegar (e.g. white wine, red wine, cider)
Steps
-
BBQ grill to high (if using).
-
In a medium bowl, mix together pork, jerk marinade and salt until coated. Set aside to marinade for at least 10 minutes.
-
Combine all Jamaican rice and beans ingredients (except beans) in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 10 minutes.
-
While Jamaican rice is steaming, heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on mediumhigh heat. Cook pork for 2-3 minutes each side (depending on thickness), until just cooked through. Set aside, covered with foil, to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing thickly against the grain.
-
While pork is cooking, finely shred cos lettuce. Remove core and seeds from capsicum and finely slice. Toss both in a large bowl with olive oil and vinegar until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
When rice has finished steaming, remove lid and fold through beans. Cover with lid and leave for 2-3 minutes, until beans are warmed through.
-
Divide Jamaican rice and beans between plates and top with slices of jerk pork. Serve salad on the side.
