Vegetable Soupy Rice
Sian from Jasper’s HQ made Soupy Rice using some ingredients from her Jasper’s Combo Box. This vegetarian dish makes for a really nutritious lunch or light dinner. It’s economical and easy to double the quantities to serve more people - you can keep leftovers in the fridge to eat the next day.
The recipe calls for frozen peas but we substituted with chickpeas as one family member won’t eat peas!
Ingredients (Serves 2)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 potato, diced
2oz long grain rice
1 pint of vegetable stock
2 tomatoes skinned and finely chopped
2oz frozen peas (or use chickpeas)
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley – if you have it
Salt and pepper
To make:
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently cook off the onion, garlic, potato and carrot for 5 minutes until beginning to go golden brown (but don’t burn!).
Stir in the rice for 1 minute
Add the hot stock, bring to the boil and simmer for a further 5-10 minutes until the rice and vegetables are tender
Stir in the ketchup and parsley and add seasoning
Divide into bowls, serve and enjoy 😊
