100g frozen peas
1 x 250g wholegrain rice pouch, or similar

Tips and Serving Suggestions

To save a little, if preferred, use 150g dried white, wholegrain or basmati rice and cook according to the packet instructions 

Frozen rice works well too. To combat food waste, use leftover cooked vegetables such as diced carrots or parsnips, stirred through for a few minutes to warm through before serving.
