This Caribbean Crumble leans on brown sugar and rum to do the heavy lifting. We grill the Lentil for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the brown sugar and rum elements, and pat the lentil dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the dried lentils and grill until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.
Stir in the brown sugar and the rest of the brown sugar and rum flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the sweetcorn along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
