Ingredients
  

  • 1 red onion finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 200g basmati rice
  • 1 red pepper deseeded and diced
  • 450ml chicken stock
  • 400g can kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 turkey steaks
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 140g fresh pineapple (or 220g can pineapple rings, drained) cut into small pieces
  • 0.5 green chilli finely chopped
  • juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

  • Reserve 2 tbsp of the onion for the salsa. Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the remaining onion and half the pepper for 4 minutes or until softened and coloured. Stir in the rice, then pour in the stock. Add the kidney beans and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, stir once, cover the pan, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid absorbed.
  • Mix the pineapple together with the reserved red onion, pepper, green chilli and lime juice.  Dust the turkey steaks with the Cajun spice and griddle or fry in a non-stick pan for about 3 to 6 minutes on each side (depending on thickness) until cooked through.  Spoon some salsa over each steak and serve with the rice.

Notes

  • We think you could also enjoy bowls of the salsa and the rice with barbecued food, eg: chicken or beef kebabs, or as part of a buffet selection.
