Ingredients

  • Coriander: small bunch coriander, leaves only
  • Garlic Clove: 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Red Chilli: 1 red chilli, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Smoked Paprika: 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Red Onion: 1 red onion, chopped
  • Lime: zest 2 limes, then 1 juiced, the other cut into wedges to serve
  • Ground Cumin: 2 tsp ground cumin
  • Brown Rice: 2 x 200g pouches cooked brown rice
  • Black Beans: 2 x 400g cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Avocado: 2 small ripe avocados, halved, stoned, peeled and chopped
  • Rapeseed Oil: 2 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
  • Tofu: 396g pack tofu, halved through the centre, then chopped into small chunks

Directions

  1. Heat the grill to High. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or so until soft. Add the garlic and sizzle for 30 secs more, then stir in the cumin and black beans. Cook for 5 mins until the beans start to pop and are hot through. Stir through the lime zest and juice, and season.
  2. While the beans cook, put the tofu in a bowl and gently toss through the remaining oil, the paprika and some seasoning. Line a baking tray with foil and arrange the tofu on top. Cook under the grill for 5 mins each side until charred all over.
  3. Heat the rice following pack instructions, then divide between bowls. Top with the beans, tofu, avocado, coriander and a wedge of lime. Add a few slices of chilli too, if you like it spicy.
