Brown Rice!

Last week I made this. It takes about 45 minutes, but I made loads and put some portions into the freezer...

300g brown rice
1 can green lentils
1 can chickpeas
200g onion, minced
300g carrots, chopped
150g bell peppers, chopped
150g tomatoes, cut into big chunks
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Spices

- boil rice for about 25 minutes in salted water
While rice boils
-fry onion in oil until translucent
-add carrots and cook for a couple of minutes with the lid on
-add pepper and cook on medium-low heat with lid on
-add tomatoes and just briefly boil (about two minutes)
- I put salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, cumin, dried ginger and some other lovely spices into it, but I'm sure a simple curry mix would do the job
-in a large bowl, mix rice and fried veg.

This makes about 7 portions, each having about 300kcal.

I hope you like the idea. Generally, brown rice, some kind of canned beans and some veg always make a nice meal

I made this last week, just substitute brown rice. It was yummy and I skipped the blackened onion part.
