Cooking Steps
Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the basmati rice, water and salt and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered for 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, slice the red capsicum into 1cm strips. Slice the brown onion (see ingredients list) into 0.5cm wedges. Roughly chop the coriander. Dice the avocado. TIP: Cut the avocado into cubes while the flesh is still in the skin, then scoop the cubed flesh out with a spoon.
Drain and rinse the black beans. In a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the black beans and Mexican Fiesta spice blend and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or they look blistered. Transfer to a bowl. SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot! Feel free to add less, depending on your taste.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the red capsicum and brown onion. Cook, tossing, for 5-6 minutes or until softened and browned. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Zest the lime to get a pinch. In a small bowl, combine the zest and Greek yoghurt. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix to combine. Slice the lime into wedges. TIP: Taste the yoghurt mixture and add more zest or a little juice if you like!
Divide the garlic rice between bowls and top with the spiced black beans, capsicum, onion and shredded Cheddar cheese. Serve with the avocado, coriander, lime yoghurt and lime wedges.
