Our 30 minute recipe
-
1.
Boil 300ml water in the kettle. Heat a little oil in a lidded saucepan over medium high heat. Fry the pork mince, breaking it up with a spatula and stirring until it's crisp and brown (around 6-7 mins).
-
2.
When the water has gone and the pork starts to crackle, turn the heat down to medium-low so that it doesn't burn and stir vigorously, scraping the pan until it's nice and brown. Next, add the Roasted Whole Spices and fry for 30 secs. Add the Smoky Chipotle Paste along with 1 tsp of sugar and 2 tbsps of water and mix it in.
-
3.
Add the rice and stir fry for 1 min to coat the grains in the paste. Add the black beans. Add the Mexican Stock Pot to the pan and stir it in. Then pour in 300ml boiling water, and gently stir until the stock paste has fully dissolved. Then bring it back to the boil, turn the heat down to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 10-12 mins or until the rice is tender.
-
4.
While the rice cooks, peel and cut the apple (into cubes) and slice the spring onions (thinly).
-
5.
When the rice is done, remove the lid and toss through the apple and spring onions, then serve immediately with some soured cream and a squeeze of lime on top (if using).

Sadly not for us, we found it very bland.
Christine - Aug 08, 2018
Nice dish, however recipe as a bit confusing - i think the first section should read once the oil rather than water has gone.
Chemayne - Aug 08, 2018
Super tasty! This is also a really good filling for fajitas!
Katherine - Aug 04, 2018
Very easy and very tasty
James - Aug 02, 2018
Easy to prepare and cook. Slightly more of a kick to it than expected, but simply a mexican bolognese that went down well!
Shaun - Aug 01, 2018
Delicious.The apple balance the heat of the chipotle nicely. Would also be good in a wrap
Simone - Aug 01, 2018
More vegetables would be good
Sam - Aug 01, 2018
Very nice
Kirsty - Jul 31, 2018
i really enjoyed this but didnt like the apple in it. next time i will be using pineapple as i know pineapple goes great with spicy and pork. leftovers make great burritos too.
Paula - Jul 28, 2018
Smelled lovely, but had a sort of powdery taste to it. Didn't really work well on it's own either, it's too much meat, needed wraps.
Dominic - Jul 26, 2018
Delicious! Would go great in tacos or fajitas.
olga - Jul 24, 2018
3 star .not in my taste
Chris - Jul 19, 2018
Nice but it’s basically a burrito filling without the burrito.
Charlotte - Jul 19, 2018
Easy to make. No mess. Quick. Tasty
christina - Jul 17, 2018
This was nice not as spicy as l thought. the rice took longer than recipe said.
Jacob - Jul 15, 2018
Difficult to cook the rice with the chilli, ended up using way more water and still ended up dry and not particularly tasty
Mahiyar - Jul 12, 2018
Loved it, especially the chunky, satisfying texture. The pork mince and black beans work really well with the rice, and the apple adds a lovely crunch. We used the soured cream and lime options and also added some tomato. As mentioned by other reviewers, the rice did take longer to cook than stated, but it was well worth the wait! We made this in enough quantity (300g pork/150g rice) to be able to freeze an extra portion. Will definitely be getting this again.
Jonathan - Jul 09, 2018
Easy to cook but not much flavour.
Salazaar - Jul 09, 2018
Okay, adding extra apple wasn't a great plan though.
Helen - Jul 03, 2018
Loved this. So easy and so delicious!
Katherine - Jun 25, 2018
Delish
Lynton - Jun 25, 2018
Would recommend putting the apples and spring onions in 5 minutes earlier
Lisa - Jun 19, 2018
This was tasty but not as spicy as I was hoping. Served with guacamole but that’s just because we love it
Emma - Jun 17, 2018
Bit dry ..took a while to cook the rice through
Sarah - Jun 12, 2018
I found it too sweet for a savoury dish with the apple. My husband did enjoy it though.
Geoff - Jun 12, 2018
Personally didn't think the apple added anything to the dish. Enjoyed it around the fruit
Jason - Jun 11, 2018
Every time I add rice raw to the dish as instructed it always seems to 2 to 3 times longer and more liquid than the recipe states!!
Josie - May 23, 2018
Filling and warming, this dish is easy to make and satisfying to eat. The fruit works well, alongside the lime, to add lightness and freshness to the flavour, making it just as suitable for eating outdoors in the summer as it would be indoors on a rainy winter day.
Jessica - May 23, 2018
This dish is really easy to make, the longest part is browning the mince, I made double and froze half ready to make Dan Dan noodles. There is a really nice mix of carbs with the rice and beans and the apple and spring onions add a lovely fresh bite. I added soured cream which added another texture and also a little bit of grated cheese which topped it nicely.
paul - May 23, 2018
A very easy and satisfying dish. One of the best one pot recipes we?ve had for some time
Jeremy - May 23, 2018
Simple dish to prepare, ingredients readily available in the local supermarket and all cooked in one pot with a very small amount of preparation. With the rice and the black beans it's filling and I probably used about 250g of pork mince which meant there was enough for three (the dog really enjoyed the leftovers). It's a very tasty dish which I'm sure all the family would enjoy as it is not particularly hot but very flavoursome. I would add a bit more Chipotle seasoning next time but I do personally like things a little spicier although the wife was happy as it was. I think most people know that pork and apple go well together but I was apprehensive about it's use here although it did work well even if the Granny Smith apple was a little sweet so definitely use the lime juice to provide some acidity and lift the dish. The sour cream is not really necessary to temper the heat as it's quite mild but does provide some additional acidity to balance the sweetness of the apple.
