Instructions
- Add the rice to a saucepan, add 2 cups/480ml of water, season with salt and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until liquid is almost absorbed, turn off heat, add lid and set aside (steam trapped under lid will cook the rice perfectly).

- Add the jalapeno, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, stock, brown sugar and all the spices and mix. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add in black beans and sweetcorn and simmer covered for 20mins. (Check half way through, just to ensure sauce is not reducing too fast, just add a little more stock if needed)
- Remove lid, then stir in cooked rice, till all combined.
- Season as need with salt and black pepper.
- Sprinkle with some fresh chopped spring onions
- Spoon into bowls and add your choice of toppings.
