Oh yeah, forgot that. Let us know how it goes...
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Made this for dinner last night and it was a hit.

I made a couple of slight changes.  I added a small grated carrot and some cherry tomatoes cut into quarters.  Left out the capsicum as I don't like it and it doesn't like me.  Gives me terrible heartburn.

Amy, I used brown basmati rice as DH is diabetic and it was fine.
The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.

We had this for lunch yesterday. The guests loved it, I loved it, DH tasted it and DD turned up her nose at it. I don't care, now I can finish it all by myself.
The only change I made was to use cranberries instead of currants.

We had friends drop in this morning and I gave them a taste. They instantly asked for the recipe. Great success even if my mob won't eat it.

I took this to a BBQ last night. It was very popular. Hardly any leftovers to bring home and eat.  :'(

Made this tonight using left over rice with diced cucumber, red pepper, grated carrot, parsley, cashews and raisins.
Used teriyaki sauce by accident, still delicious!

loved it, thanks Thermo18  :)



I used dried cherries instead of currants, and took on board MJ's additions.
Added:
1 crushed garlic clove & 1 Tbsp. brown sugar to dressing (I used ketjap manis)
Also 3 Tbsp. pepitas.

Hubby who doesn't eat brown anything, loved it too  ;)
.........EAT CAKE!

This was a recipe I knew anyway, and had mislaid so it was great to find it again. Thanks.
