RICE BUBBLE AND SQUEAK – Gluten Free

Traditional Bubble and Squeak in our household has always been leftover mashed potatoes and vegetables fried up with an egg. This rice version is a little fancier. Although it says to bake the potatoes, kumara and carrots in the oven, I think I’d speed the process up a bit and just microwave them. You might lose a little flavour, but not enough to make much difference and it would be just that bit easier.

SUPREME RICE PIZZA

The concept of cooking the rice in beer for the base of this pizza is something I’ve never heard of before and I’m not sure I think it’s a good idea, but that could be because I’m not a beer drinker. It would certainly add some flavour, but maybe with all the yummy toppings you don’t need the beer. I think I’d make it cooked in chicken stock, but that’s just me.

CHEWY COCONUT CHOC-CHIP COOKIES

Any biscuit recipe that starts with – combine the melted butter with the sugar in a bowl – makes me think it’s a great one for the kids to make. These with coconut, oats and choc-chips will keep them busy during the school holidays and feed them as well. That makes it a winner, doesn’t it?
