MORE RICE ! I’ve been looking at all the lovely recipes for soups & stews & wishing I could make them, but it’s hot here in Oz, I don’t just mean a bit warm, it’s freaking stinking hot. Yesterday hit 47c! It’s not even summer yet! Too hot to eat (I think) others didn’t (bloody family) so I made this to serve with cold cooked chicken (and I’m posting this because while we had it cold, it would be nice warm as a side dish). RICE SALAD Cook one cup of rice according to packet directions. While still hot dress rice with 1 tbs of white vinegar & 1tbs of olive oil (but veg oil is ok if you don’t have olive oil) & salt & pepper. Now have a look in your fridge & pantry & see what you’ve got. Here’s what I used, 1 tin of rinsed chickpeas, ½ chopped red pepper, about 10 whole olives sliced, 1tps rinsed capers, ½ big chopped fresh tomato (cherry tomatoes are nice too), 5 mini pickled gerkins chopped, a few chopped anchovies, fresh parsley & green shallots. You could add cooked peas & beans as well if you like, corn is nice too, you get the idea, add anything that you fancy! After mixing well taste to see if it has enough vinegar (I had half a lemon so I squeezed that in too). Refrigerate. This is good for packed lunches if you add a tin of tuna. Lisa.
