Rice Stuffed Silverbeet Leaves
Ingredients: Big bunch of silverbeet (preferably about 12 leaves) 1 onion, finely chopped 2 heaped Tbls of peanut butter ¼ tsp cumin seeds 1 cup rice 1 can chopped tomatoes 1 Tbls dried oregano ½ cup grated cheese (optional) 2 Tbls oil Salt and pepper Method: Lightly fry the onion and cumin seeds in oil, add the rice, fry briefly then add 2 ½ cups water and ½ a tsp salt. Bring to the boil, turn down to a low simmer, cover and cook for 12 mins, then turn off and leave the pan tightly covered for a further 12 mins. Add the peanut butter to the rice, stir to combine. Add the cheese to the rice and peanut butter mixture, stir to combine. Trim the silverbeet leaves from the bunch and run the edge of a wooden spoon along the spines of the silverbeet, pressing firmly to crush the spines. This makes the leaves much easier to roll up. Divide the rice mixture between the 12 leaves and roll them up. Place the rolled up leaves into a shallow baking dish. Blend the can of tomatoes with the oregano, ¼ tsp salt and a cup of water and tip over the leaves. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 170°C for an hour.

Coleslaw is a fav in this household. Last night roasted some cauli for a change, everyone enjoyed it. Just flavoued it with garlic & lemon juice, bit of o/oil and s&p. Then few min before serving sprinkled with parmesan,and popped back in oven until melted.

Apricot Vegetable casserole is simple and real yummy. 1 pkt maggi apricot chicken and 1 tin of apricots ( i use vegez only) then add any vegez Eg: last night we had whole brussel sprouts, sliced carrots, kumara, onions and chicpeas. You can also bake your potatoes whilst baking your casserole. We also had cauliflower. Steam cauli, once almost cooked place in oven proof container and cover with this mix of sour cream, grated lemon rind and parmesan cheese then sprinkle with bread crumbs, bake 15mins. Yum yum.
