Coconut rice bowl with black beans and mango

Rice cooked in coconut milk, topped with warm spiced black beans and a cold, sharp mango salsa. The hot and cold contrast is the point, and it takes half an hour.

Coconut rice bowl with black beans and mango

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in a sieve. Shake the coconut milk tin well before you open it, then put the rice in a pan with the coconut milk, 200 ml of water and a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring to a gentle simmer and stir once, then cover and cook on the lowest heat for 15 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed. Leave it off the heat, lid on, for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, drain and rinse the black beans and put them in a small pan with the cumin, chilli flakes, a pinch of salt and 4 tablespoons of water. Warm over a medium heat for 5 minutes, until hot.
  4. Peel, stone and dice the mango, deseed and dice the red pepper, slice the spring onions thinly and roughly chop the coriander.
  5. Mix the mango, pepper, spring onions and coriander with the juice of the lime and a pinch of salt.
  6. Fluff the coconut rice with a fork, share it between two bowls and add the beans and the mango salsa.

Tip Keep the other half of the coconut milk tin in a covered jar in the fridge for a few days, or stir it into porridge or a curry.
