Cold Rice Salad

Cold Rice Salad

We’ve been cooking quite a few Asian recipes recently and no matter how well we measure Rice we often end up with some left over. Last night was quite hot and humid and we fancied something quick and light for dinner. We already had various dips and sauces we’d made and popped in the fridge along with some home made Coleslaw. So we just cobbled a bit of a colCold Rice Saladd buffet gig together.

Ingredients:-

Cold cooked Rice
Thick sliced Chorizo, fried drained and cooled
Cubed Cheese
5 Spring Onions, sliced
A dash of Soy Sauce
Mayonnaise

Method:-

(1) Mix everything together.
(2) Serve!

The cubed Cheese was £0.60 thanks to the Yellow Sticker fridge and the bit of Chorizo cost, maybe, £0.60 as well. Everything else we had in, so we certainly didn’t break the bank last night!

Hazelnut Pesto

It’s very early for Hazel Nuts this year. But what falls gets eaten here!

Ingredients:-

Hazel Nuts
Olive or Rice Husk Oil
Fresh Basil
White Wine Vinegar
Salt

Method:-

(1) Put the nuts in the oven at 200C and roast for 10 minutes. This stops the Pesto going moldy.
(2) Allow to cool and then batter with a rolling pin the get the nuts out of the shells. Do not hit your thumb, it hurts!
(3) In a blender add all the ingredients and wuzz until it’s reasonably fine grained.

I like Pesto with a bit of bite so I didn’t wuzz it up as much as some folk might like.
