Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
  2. Strip the thyme leaves from the stalks and finely chop. Cut the spring onions into 2cm pieces. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic paste, spring onions, three-quarters of the whole tomatoes, jerk seasoning and thyme (to taste). Cook for 3-5 mins, until softened.
  3. Dissolve the cornflour in a jug with 50ml cold water. Add the creamed coconut to the jug then top up with 200ml hot water (75ml for 1 person). Lightly crush the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Add the cornflour mixture to the pan and simmer for 2 mins.
  4. Drain the pineapple. Add the pork and pineapple to the pan and simmer for 6-8 mins, until the pork is cooked and the sauce thickens. Add the spinach in the final minute of cooking to wilt. Season with a squeeze of lime juice (to taste) and a pinch of sea salt. Quarter the remaining tomatoes.
  5. Serve the rice in bowls alongside the pork stew. Garnish with the remaining tomatoes and lime as wedges.
