2 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 onion, diced
10 oz / 250 g cherry tomatoes
1 can corn kernels (200 g)
1 can red beans (300 g)
1 cup / 200 g basmati rice
2 cups / 400 ml water
1 cup / 100 g shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 avocado, diced
1 teaspoon cumin powder
salt and pepper
Directions
- As it’s a one pan dish, the directions are basically: “mix everything and wait”. Let’s go a bit more in details as the ingredients need to be added in a certain order.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Cook the garlic and onion for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the cumin and chili and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Stir in cherry tomatoes, corn and red beans. Tip in the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer until rice is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Season to taste.
- Remove the pan from the stove, sprinkle cheese, cover and wait until it melts. Cut the avocado in small cubes. Sprinkle on top of the cheese and serve immediately.
