Method

Cook saffron rice according to instructions on package.

Heat oil in a large saucepan, gently fry spring onions until soft. Add black beans; lime juice & stock, chilli powder, cumin and coriander. Heat through.

Ensure rice is cooked (there should be no liquid left and rice should still be slightly firm). Add cooked rice to the pan and combine well with other ingredients.

Stir in sour cream, salt and pepper and cook for a further 2 minutes stirring continuously. Add more coriander if desired.

Spoon rice into pre-oiled 21/4’’ dariol moulds or small ramekins. Turn upside down on dinner plates, tap gently on the top until rice becomes loose and gently pull off the mould.

This makes 8-12 moulds depending on the size.
