GREEN DAYS ONLY - systemas diary

Just taken this out of the oven and had to taste it because the smell was awsome.

It is Rice Slice which I saw in a book in town yesterday and as I am not going to buy any more books copied it as I liked the look of it. It does take both your HEX A''s for a very large slice. So easy to make

RICE AND VEG SLICE - 4 very large slices for a main meal - 2 HEX A's each

300 GMS COOKED RICE
180GMS GRATED CHEDDAR CHEESE
6 EGGS
225GMS ASPARAGUS
75GMS SPINACH --- slice or chop all the veg
1 SLICED RED PEPPER
100 GMS LOW FAT FETA CHEESE
-------------------------------

Put all the rice into a bowl with a beaten egg and about 2/3rds of grated cheese and mix together.
Press this into a 19cm square tin then place all the veg on top and press gently.
Beat the other 5 eggs with salt and pepper and the crumbled Feta cheese then pour over the top of the veg then add the rest of the grated cheese
Cook in a hot oven for about 30 mins – cover if necessary part way through.

Used one of those "rubber" baking trays and it came out very easily - forgot to spray it as well!!!

Won't let me post any more in that post.

I put some defrosted frozen peas and some lightly steamed broccoli in it (left overs) and mixed in some frozen spinach (very fine leaf - defrosted) into the eggs. Only put a bunch of Asparagus in it (150gms)

It has set very well - made it for a packed lunch tomorrow so easy to take with us.

Just cut the Rice Slice up and think I was being a bit over indulgent with the portion size - it will make 6 not 4 so that will cut down the HEX A a little - so now it is 1 and 1/3 - don't know what to do with that but will call it one and a half HEX A's per piece!!!!

Went shopping for the day with a friend and took it for a packed lunch - she is a very "plain" eating kind of person - has never tasted curry in her life and don't think she ever will - asked what I had so I gave her a small piece. I was very suprised she even tasted it and she ended up eating half of it and asked me to make her one for a picnic they are going on at the week-end - said she was impressed.

Beware it does make a lot - I have had it for dinner and lunch, MIL had some and still lots left!!!

I nearly had that for lunch yesterday! They were sold out at my local M&S so I had to get Boots instead which isn't half as nice

Cant stand pre packed supermarket sushi - total pap! I will get round to making some this weekend

 

[systema]

Havn't got anything to make it with here so tried to make it just by pressing it into a tin then turning out. Not brilliant looking but it tasted fine. M and S is the next best thing.

 

[missy1978]

The M&S sushi is definately the nicest of the pre-packaged variety. Making your own is of course the better option but if you need a quick lunch the M&S stuff works a treat... when they have it in stock! :'(

I really would not call it that Kel - M and S is nice. I make it at home with grilled veg but M & S is fine for people who don't or can't make their own - sometimes we people who can cook should give a little slack to people who can't or do not want to but still want to eat healthily and within SW guidelines. - not having a go Kel but saying for people who like it and have to buy it,

I wouldn't choose a supermarket food over any of my home cooked meals but when on the go, needs must and as you say it's a healthy choice and within sw guidelines which is a plus

I havent tried m&s but don't put it in the same class as a regular supermarket is it? I certainly couldnt afford to do all my shopping there! The supermarkets I have tried are bland, chewy and vile, I stand by that... blurrghh
