Cooking Tips
- You can definitely add extra ingredients.
- You can put a little bit of spice in this if you want to.
- You can add just a few chilli flakes.
- You can definitely use sun-dried tomatoes in this if it’s your preference.
- You can change it up. You could maybe add in some mushrooms or you could go with some red pepper.
- I like to be on around level four for searing and sauteing. I find that that works quite nicely for this type of dish.
- It’s up to you what vegetables you use in this dish.
- If you don’t have a sun-dried tomato pesto, maybe you have some sun-dried tomatoes in your fridge. Chop those up, put those in. That will be absolutely delicious.
- Always looks like a lot of liquid when you’re cooking a dish like this with rice. But believe me, that liquid is seriously going to disappear.
- I’m not going to add my peas in until the end.
- Don’t worry that those meatballs are still raw. They’re going to be cooked lovely. They’re going to be lovely, soft and tender. And the rice will be really well cooked.
- Peas won’t take much just to finish off defrosting.
- It’s up to you how much Parmesan you put in really.
Can’t wait for dinner. Let’s go and eat it.
