Batchelors savoury rice is free. I put some peas in it and cook a two egg omelette to go with it. I also put a drop of "Encona" sauce (half a syn a tblsp) so its a sort of spicy eggy rice and pea thing. Nice! x
I bought a pile of batchelors rice a while ago when it was on offer, but I havent touched it yet, instead revelling in the fact I can have pasta and jacket potatoes! will have to mix it up
have added chopped toms , cuc , spring onion , yellow pepper , celery , and capers and chopped gerkins , and sweetcorn to half a packet .
its very colourful , lol
I add frozen mixed veg (and occasionally prawns) to the dry rice then add the water and cook as normal - we named it Quick Risotto (LOL), quick, tasty, filling!
my favourite thing as a snack is a pkt of golden rice with a couple of chopped up eggs mixed through and 2 tbs hellmans extra light mayo, it is good for a buffet or salad, mine never makes it though!
