Ideas for uncle bens microwave rice

[ljc87]

Hi does anyone have any good ideas on what to have with uncle bens microwave rice as i am getting stuck for ideas :sigh:

 

[Vodkamonster]

I have them with a tin of mackeral in tom sauce or ww tuna and a bag of steam fresh veg. Or with stirfry, or salad, or a tin of chickpea dahl for example. They're also great for buffets and bbqs. Try stuffing into roasted peppers.

Next time you're in a supermarket, check out the packets of Uncle Bens and Tilda microwave rices as some have recipe suggestions on them. You could try the websites for these 2 manufacturers too??

Are uncle bens rices free on green days?

 

[Circes]

I think there are a couple of plain rices that are free, although can't swear to this as I never use them, but the flavoured ones have a syn value
