Fiesta Rice

Although i really like rice it can be a bit boring on it's own, here is an idea to make it a bit more interesting. I got the idea ffrom Bare Bra Mat, they had loads of great ideas for childrens food.

Cook any type of rice you fancy.  When it is cooked drain and put to one side. in a frying pan or large saucepan start adding vegetables. i use anything i have in the fridge but as my girls love carrots and peppers they are the first thing to go in. Fry them lightly in oil then add peas and some seeds i have used pumpkin seeds in the photo above. cook them till they are done but still have a bit of bite to them.

Add in the rice give it a good stir and then taste. season with a bit of salt and pepper. Soya sauce is a good one to use as well, gives it a salty kick.

This rice is great with meat or fish but just as yummy on it's own.
