Cold Rice Salad

Cold Rice Salad

We’ve been cooking quite a few Asian recipes recently and no matter how well we measure Rice we often end up with some left over. Last night was quite hot and humid and we fancied something quick and light for dinner. We already had various dips and sauces we’d made and popped in the fridge along with some home made Coleslaw. So we just cobbled a bit of a colCold Rice Saladd buffet gig together.

Ingredients:-

Cold cooked Rice
Thick sliced Chorizo, fried drained and cooled
Cubed Cheese
5 Spring Onions, sliced
A dash of Soy Sauce
Mayonnaise

Method:-

(1) Mix everything together.
(2) Serve!

The cubed Cheese was £0.60 thanks to the Yellow Sticker fridge and the bit of Chorizo cost, maybe, £0.60 as well. Everything else we had in, so we certainly didn’t break the bank last night!

Winter Veg

We tend to get stuck in a loop with vegetables for some reason. Peas, Red Cabbage and spuds seem to have become our “Go-To” choice recently. So we thought we’d have a bit of a change yesterday. Although the Spuds are still there….

Because of the global supply network, be it a good or (more probably) bad thing the majority of regularly used vegetables are available all year round in the supermarkets and local retailers. But if you buy seasonal veg you will notice that they tend to be UK grown more often than not. This has to be a good thing surely?

So last nights veg was:-

Boiled Cabbage
Roast Parsnips
Roast Potatoes
Cauliflower

All UK grown and with a bit of slow roast Pork shoulder and home made gravy it was a meal your granny would have been proud of on a very cost effective budget.
