October Theme - "Cheap Eats"
So this month is all about cheap meals!
i want your favourite meals that feed an army on a tight budget!
as an example, i offer my great grandmothers
"Pea and Rice Rissoles"
2 cups short grain rice
2 cups of canned peas
pack of french onion soup mix
flour
cook up the rice, drain the peas, mix the peas and the french onion soup mix into the rice, form handfulls of the mix into rissoles and dust in flour. then fry them up.
be aware that they are REALLY messy to make.. i find that using a couple of spoons to form patties, and then dropping them into the bowl of flour, then roll them round. ie- limit touching them until they're doused in flour.
seriously.. these things are great.. maybe its just a childhood favourite.. but i dig them.. nice addition to a BBQ.. and you can play with the mix.. recently i made corn and rice rissoles.. can of sweet corn kernels, and a pack of taco seasoning.
