[tesco samoa]

well the dish turned out good.

I used 4 cups and 1/8 of the zuchini ( from garden ) shredded
with 3 cups cooked rice
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups of ( spanish onion ) chopped fine
1 1/2 cups of peppers ( garden peppers half hot like chilie or caynenne and half red sweet ) chopped fine
pepper
12 ounces of corn
1 tablespoon oil
2 cups grated white cheddar cheeze ( sharp for you people down south )
1 cup crumbled feta...
then some spices from the garden that were chopped ( which were some basil, oregano , thyme )
how to cook...

Take enough rice to cook up 3 cups ( which is like a cup and a half... 2 and 1/2 cups of water and some butter or marginine.... combine in a pot bring to a boil and stir away.... reduce heat... and set a timer to 25 minutes )

then shread 1 pound of zucchine... 4 cups and a bit and set aside
Take the oil and pour it in a pan and heat until medium hot ( hold your hand above the pan ( about 6 cm away ) and count... when it takes about 4 seconds for your hand to feel warm it is ready

I have found that this amount of time is equal to cutting up the onions and getting them ready...

Then put all those onions and zucchine in the pan and stir away until mixed... and let it cook until the zucchine is soft..

Which is the same amount of time it takes to cut peppers and put them in a bowl, add the corn and shread the cheeze and crumble the feta...


Combine the cheezes in another bowl

take the spices and cut them up and then add them to the pepper and corn bowl...

Turn the heat off on the onions and zuchine and let it cool down.

Get out a big mixing bowl and a oven pan that can hold all this stuff...

spray oil or what ever on the oven pan ( casserole dish etc )...

Turn the oven on to 375

The time should go off for the rice now...

take 3 eggs and place them in the mixxing bowl and beat them up a bit.

Then add the rice... and mix it up real good like

Take the Zuchine and onion that is still sitting in the frying pan and drain it ...

add it to the mixing bowl... and do some more of that mixing

then add the veggies and cheeze....

Sprinke pepper on it ( salt if you like that as well )

and mix it up real good....

I also added a wee bit of hot sauce

When it is all good and mixed dump the whole thing into the oven pan...

Place it in the oven and set the timer to 25 minutes... ( i had the heat coming from the bottom and no lid on the oven pan )

Then go off and do something...

when the timer goes off turn on the bbq...

And then set the timer for 25 minutes again

And cook your meat

When the timer goes off again...

turn the heat to the top and let it brown for 10 minutes

when timer goes off again... remove from oven

go get stuff off bbq

eat and enjoy...

very tasty
