1
Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a saucepan and fry the chopped banana blossom for a couple of minutes. Pour in the chilli cooking sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat for 15-20mins, until reduced and the banana blossom is falling apart.

Heat the rest of the oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook the peppers for 8-10mins, stirring regularly, until softened and browned.
4
Once the onion and peppers are cooked, heat the rice according to pack instructions.
5
Scoop the avocado into a bowl and mash with the lime juice and some of the coriander.
6
To assemble, put a little rice in the bottom of each bowl. Top with sections of the banana blossom, peppers, mashed avocado and the beans.
7
Serve each bowl with a wedge of lime to squeeze over and a sprinkle of the remaining coriander.
