Ingredients

Rice

  • ¾ cup jasmine rice
  • 1 cup water

Chilli

  • ½ brown onion
  • ½ carrot
  • 200g lamb mince
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp lamb chilli spice mix
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 can chilli beans
  • 1 can tomatoes
  • ½ bag baby spinach

To serve

  • 1 tomato
  • 1 Tbsp coriander leaves
  • ½ lime
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1-2 Tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • A pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
  • 75g corn chips (optional)

Steps

  1. Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a small 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 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. Finely dice onion and grate carrot. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot or large fry-pan on high heat. Cook onion, carrot, and lamb mince with salt for about 5 minutes, breaking mince up until browned. Add lamb chilli spice mix and garlic and cook a further 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add chilli beans and chopped tomatoes and bring to a low simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes until sauce has thickened.
  4. Roughly chop spinach and add to chilli. Cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Season to taste.
  5. While chilli cooks, dice tomato 1cm, roughly chop coriander leaves and stalks, and cut lime in wedges.
  6. To serve, spoon ½ cup rice into bowls and top with chilli con carne, a sprinkle of tomato and coriander, a dollop of sour cream and sweet chilli sauce, and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Squeeze over lime. Serve corn chips on the side (if using).
