have you ever

[orange1]

made anything nice out of nothing You know, when you go to the cupboard and there seems to be nothing there. Have you ever rustled something tasty up

I made a very nice meal once out of some rice, half an onion, some red lentils and a veggie stock cube.

I've never been able to repeat it though, no matter how many times I try.

nice to see someone can do it because I CANT I look and think oh no what am I going to make ,then along comes my husband and rustles up something really nice. He usually writes it down in a book so he can do it again and totally puts me to shame. I will ask to see his book and put some of his stuff up
How did you cook it, did you fry it, boil it?

maybe some ideas for me and I can surprise him

Easy:

Soften the onion in some oil.

When soft and translucent add the lentils and continue to cook for a few minutes stirring to prevent sticking.

Add the rice (about 2x the lentils) and a double measure of veggie stock (not too strong).

Cove tightly and simmer over a low heat till the liquid is absorbed.

  Thanks for that, and those ingredients are also something I always have in. He might get lucky Friday lol

Tonight I am rustling up a bread and butter pudding out of some hot cross buns I have left over in the bread box.  The only thing I had to buy was nutmeg, otherwise it's all stuff already in the fridge.

Do you put cream in that Shell or do you just use milk?

I add cream to mine, it's better in my opinion.   I also pour cream over it when it's cooked and served
