Thought I would try something different tonight:
Chop up some bacon and fry gently in large stockpot.
Add some chopped leeks and fry til soft, add plenty garlic.
Add 2 tins chopped tomatoes and 1 tin of mixed bean salad (rinsed).
Add some tomato puree and plenty veg. stock.
Toss in half a cup of arborio rice.
Simmer gently for an hour or so.
Serves 4-6 adults/teens
Mop it up with homemade herby bread (easily made in bread machine :wink: )
Tasty and healthy too. :D
