There are of course more popular meal ideas that work for the weekend but this one will work for any weeknight dinner.
Grab some basic ingredients you always have in your pantry and allow them to be totally refreshed for a new dinner.
You could use whatever vegetable that you have in season, plus you could leave out the onion and pepper.
Some suggestions are:
- Tomatoes – wash and cut into small squares, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and place in a large serving bowl
- onions – wash and cut into small squares, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and place in a large serving bowl pepper – wash and chop into small squares, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and place in a large serving bowl
- salt – place in a bowl, gently mix with two teaspoons of olive oil
- olive oil – mix with another two teaspoons of olive oil and one teaspoon of salt
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius and prepare your large wooden chopping board
On your board place a tablespoon of olive oil, a tablespoon of butter, a half of a medium-sized onion, half a medium-sized green pepper, a small tin of tomatoes (bottled will work too), and two-thirds of a teaspoon of salt.
Add a little grinding of pepper and chopped vegetables in between each vegetable to create a beautiful mixture. I promise this will look like a gorgeous fuchsia salad which you will find hard to resist eating after a long day!
Place a few tins in a large oven tray. You want your tray to be about two inches off the oven rack.
Next, add a handful of mixed veg to the tray and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes. You will know when your veg is ready when it is soft and rosy.
After 10 minutes take the tray out of the oven and put them into a bowl.
Add the rest of the veg and the two tablespoons of olive oil and mix with your hands. Then add the teaspoon of salt.
Wash the rice and put it in a large bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Mix with your hands and make sure the rice is coated.
Spread your vegetables out on a large plate and add a dollop of the vegetable rice mixture on top.
If you’re very hungry you can eat it like a stir fry but if you have the energy you can easily share it with your children and your partner.
Top with a green leaf or two and enjoy!
