Serve with roast veg or mashed potato, peas and carrots.
This is great cold in sandwiches, stir fries.

I made a curry last night. Put a pot of water for rice(I use brown) on to boil. Put onion, garlic, and butter in another saucepan. Add a tin of tomatoes when the onions are soft, and a can of chickpeas(sometimes I use mushrooms). And a tsp of Vencat Curry powder and leave to simmer. Put rice in the water(I use the absorption method), and go find something else to do for 20mins. It's my gf's fave.

GINGER RICE SALAD. SERVES 6. lunch /casual dinner. Make this up and enjoy stuffed into pita pockets or as a side dish. You can use brown or white rice, medium or long grain. It really doesn’t matter. The two dominant flavors are peanut and onion, with sweetness from the honey in the sauce. It’s very delicious and because peanuts are a legume and rice is a grain they combine to give a complete protein, so it’s filling too! It’s best eaten that day, it can still be eaten the next day (and the day after)but the peanuts may have gone a bit soft as a result. INGREDIANTS: DISH; 1-2 T oil half a 750gram bag of frozen stir fry mix veges. 3 C cooked rice. 3 Spring onions trimmed and sliced. 1 C roasted Peanuts. INGREDIANTS: SAUCE; 2 T (watties Asian) sweet soy sauce. (or regular if you don’t have that handy. ) Juice of half a lemon. ¼ C oil. 2 T honey. 1 t each of minced chili and ginger. (or if you’ve only got dried, ½ t of each. )

ginger rice saladcont... METHOD: stir fry your frozen veg, and then mix that, your rice, spring onions and peanuts together. Put the Sauce ingredients in something and microwave them a minute to melt the honey and combine it; then pour that over the salad and stir it all through. You can serve this hot, warm or cold. Warm in Pita Pockets is my favorite. I don’t know where this recipe came from originally but I suspect it’s an Alison Holst one. Thanks to Wendy Haywood who passed the recipe onto me.

Hey ferita! Fancy bumping in to you here...

cybertao, Jun 24, 2:42am
Oh yeah, a recipe... How about tortillas? 300g flour, 1+1/2tsp salt, 1+1/2tsp baking powder, generous amount of oil(50ml or so? ), 200ml hot water. Mix everything together, add the water and mix into a dough, leave it to rest for 20-30mins. Roll into balls(makes 12), then roll flat with a rolling pin. Keep flipping them or they stick to the table. Cook in a hot pan, flip them when they start to bubble. You can fill them with anything. Beans, salad, leftovers... anything you like.

re: 77 Im a hardcore vegetarian. Have been one all my life (was raised one).

darlingmole, Jun 25, 8:26pm
bumping ~ I make the homemade tortilla's aswell cyber. Put in the usual salad stuff but the hot mixture is normally chili beans with onion and grated up anything-I-can-get-my-hands-on-
type veges. Add the grated cheese and the teenagers don't know the difference (they're culinary philistines anyway ha! )

Perogies After living in mid-west of Canada for several years these are part of the staple diet where I was. Wonderful recipe, I preferred mine pan fired with some onions after boiling, however many ate them after the boiling stage. Eat with sour cream and salsa on the side. Or along side cabbage rolls. They are a bit time consuming, but you can make them in advance and freeze them for future use. Have a perogie making day;) Here is theURL http://www.canadianliving.com/food/plump_perogies_cooking_le
