Hey,
So, I've discovered a meal that can be made if you have loads of work to do. You could be cleaning up the house, or working on mini dissertation-like thing (like I've been doing) or whatever keeps you busy or stressed out and still be able to cook and eat something really good when you have the time to finally get some food into your system.
Ingredients
ASDA Mediterranean Vegetables with Cherry Tomatoes (should be available at walk mart)
3/4 of an onion
2-3 garlic cloves
Salt
Hot, ground peppers
Black pepper
Paprika
Sunflower/Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Rice
Water
Method
- Preheat your oven to about 200C.
- In an oven tray with relatively high sides, drizzle a bit of oil then pour in the contents a frozen bag of ASDA Mediterranean Vegetables with Cherry Tomatoes.
- Dice the onion or cut it up irregularly, cut each garlic clove into tiny pieces and pour both into the tray.
- Next, season the contents of the tray with salt, a sprinkle of black pepper and paprika and some hot, ground pepper.
- Drizzle some more oil over everything, turn and stir them to ensure the spices are near-evenly spread.
- Add a bit of water to the tray and then place it in your over for an hour, but it's best to put it in for a half hour, stir it then put it in for another half hour.
- Wash or rinse some rice until the water runs clear then pour it into a rice cooker with an ample amount of water.
- Season....the water....with some salt, put the lid down on the cooker and turn it on.
- After an hour of what's in the oven being there, if you're not ready to eat yet, just turn off the oven leaving the tray in there.
- When the rice is done cooking, leave the rice cooker on warm if you're not ready to eat.
- When you are eventually ready to eat, get a nice bowl, plate or dish, pour some rice into it and then place the contents of the tray over the rice. You can mix it up while you're eating.
Bon appétit! :)
