10 MINUTE VEGGIE FRIED RICE

For this to take 10 minutes, it does require you to have some leftover cooked rice on hand to speed up the process. With that as a base, you can go to town with what else you throw in there. This is a version I've made a number of times now as there is nothing fancy or complicated about it - perfect for those evenings when I can't be bothered to spend ages in the kitchen but still want something filling and deliciously savoury. Always served with a side of broccoli just so I can up my intake of greens .

Ingredients
(serves 2)
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1/2 red onion (chopped)
- 1 green bell pepper (chopped)
- 1 scotch bonnet pepper (chopped)
- 1-2 vegan sausages (chopped) OR replace with 1/2 cup cooked beans/lentils
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp curry powder

Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the chopped vegetables and vegan sausage (or cooked beans/lentils) for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the cooked rice, thyme and curry to the pan. Keep stirring and combine all the ingredients for another 5 minutes until the rice is heated all the way through.
Serve with your favourite steamed vegetables.

  2. Looks tasty. Curious if using palm oil instead of sunflower oil might give it even more of a west Africa flavour.

    1. No doubt! It would enrich the colour of the dish too.
