Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Add your white long grain rice and cauliflower rice to a pot with a lid with 110ml [175ml] [225ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Step 1
2.

Meanwhile, peel and finely slice your brown onion[s]

Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop into bite-sized pieces

Drain and rinse your black beans

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Step 2
3.

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the sliced onion and chopped pepper with a pinch of salt and cook for 8-10 min or until softened

Step 3
4.

Meanwhile, add your mayo to a bowl with the juice of half your lime[s], a small drizzle of olive oil and plenty of black pepper

Give everything a good mix up – this is your lime mayo

Cut the remaining lime into 1 wedge per person

Step 4
5.

Add your ground smoked paprika to a large bowl with your ground coriander, cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and dried thyme

Add a pinch of salt and pepper and stir it all together – this is your Cajun-style spice mix

Chop your fish fillet[s] into bite-sized pieces and pat dry

Step 5
6.

Once the onion and pepper have softened, add the drained black beans to the pan with half the Cajun-style spice mix (you'll use the rest later!), the chopped garlic and vegetable stock mix

Mix it all together and cook for 1 min or until fragrant, then transfer to the pot with the cooked rice

Give everything a good mix up, then cover and set aside (reserve the pan!) – this is your Cajun-style rice

Step 6
7.

Add the chopped fish pieces to the bowl with the remaining Cajun-style spice mix, 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] flour and a pinch of salt and mix it all together these are your spiced fish pieces

Return the reserved pan to a high heat with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil and once hot, add the spiced fish pieces and cook for 3-4 min each side, or until cooked through (cooking for 3 or more? You may need to do this in batches!)

Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily

Step 7
8.

Serve the Cajun-style cauliflower rice topped with the spiced fish pieces and drizzle over the lime mayo

Garnish with a lime wedge and season with black pepper

Enjoy!
