Method
- In a large pan, cook mince with pepper and onion over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, Major Caribbean Mari Base olives, raisins and vinegar; bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until raisins and beans are softened, 5-6 minutes.
-
Wash the rice well under cold running water to remove any excess starch and transfer to a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
-
Mix the coconut milk and stock together and pour it over the washed rice.
-
Cover the saucepan with a lid and bring the rice to a boil on a high heat.
-
Once vigorously boiling, change to a low heat, cover with the lid and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the water level is the same as the top of the rice.
- At this point, turn the heat off and leave the rice to rest for 10 minutes, keeping the lid on. Use a wooden spoon to fluff up the rice before serving. Add salt, sugar and pepper to taste.
- Serve and enjoy!
