Monday, May 3rd, 2010

This dish is great for customisation. You only really need a few base ingredients then you are free to add as many vegetables as you want, of many different types. You can add in curry and or chili. There are endless combinations and additions you can make to this dish to make it suit your tastes.

Cost: $10-$15 assuming you have cupboard items
Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 10mins
Cooking Time: 30mins

Ingredients:

  • 500g Mince
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 tin tomato soup
  • 1 cup ( 250mls ) water
  • 4 tablespoons uncooked rice
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Mixed vegetables frozen or fresh
  • Curry Powder and/or Chili Powder to your taste (optional, but recommended)

CBF Method:

  1. Roughly chop Onion

  2. Place a small amount of Olive Oil in your pot along with the raw Rice and Onion.
  3. Fry lightly.

  4. Add Mince to the pan and fry until brown.
  5. Add, Water, Tomato Soup and your selection of vegetables
  6. Mix together well
  7. Simmer for 30 minutes occasionally stirring

Also note, I am incredibly lazy when it comes to cooking so I often, unsafely, leave the pots for an extended period causing it to stick and burn on the bottom. If you are as lazy as me and get it burned on the bottom, don’t worry. When you stir the pot, don’t scrape the bottom. Also when you serve it leave the bit stuck to the bottom until you wash up. The upper layers come up fine and it doesn’t affect the taste.

No fancy presentation here. It tastes better than it looks.
