Savoury rice

[becki22]

Hi guys, I've not had a chance to go through all the threads yet so I'm sorry if there is other threads like this!! (my first day)


I boiled some rice then and put it to one side, I then fried off some chicken using fry light, I then added a whole red pepper, a load of mushrooms and half a courgette. Once they had softened I added some tandoori curry powder stored through till all was coated then added the cooked rice!!

I have to say as my first lunch on sw I cant wait to experiment some more cause that was totally delicious!! Yummmmmyyyyyyyy ??

Variation on a theme for you:

500g Turkey mince
2 sliced onions
2 peppers
Courgette
Old El Paso fajita mix
Chilli beans
2 x Uncle Bens Mexican rice

Brown the mince in frylight
Add the diced/sliced veggies and the fajita mix
Once softened add the chilli beans and half a can of water.
Add the rice and cook for 5 minutes

Makes 4 v good portions and is surprisingly good cold as a lunch.

I make it 9.5 syns for the batch on EE so 2.5 syns/portion.

Making your own rice would bring down the syns but usually ends in tears for me!
