Advantages: Very adaptable

Disadvantages: It's rice, so not one for reheating

This dish is known as "Pizza Rice" in our family - in a vain attempt to fool the kids that they are not actually eating a rice bake. The quantities are really vague - put in the amount your family will eat! There is enough rice and liquid for 5 people at least.

Get some chicken breast, or pork, or bacon, or sausage, or whatever meat you fancy or have to hand. Chop it up and fry it with some diced onion. Add some garlic if you like. I do it in a big wok so there is plenty of space.

When it's browned, add a bit more oil. Then stir in 1 cup of rice and fry it for a minute or so.

Add half a pint of stock, 1 tin of chopped tomatoes, and some chopped vegetables, or maybe sweetcorn or peas. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Turf it out into a casserole dish.

Get about 100g cheddar, and chop it into cubes.

Stir half the cheese into the rice mix, and scatter the other half across the top.

Bake if for 20 minutes at 180C.

Summary: We like it
