Help! What can I do with mini meatballs, left over rice, mushrooms and veg, and passata?

[PureQuintessence]

Any yummy recipes or good suggestions out there?

Trying to "eat out my fridge" before going grocery shopping tonight!

Make a savoury rice w rice and veg and tomato mushroom sauce for the meatballs....

(wonders if this is a trick question)

What sort of seasoning to make it tasty?

I know, seems pretty straight forward with all those ingredients. I just dont want it to be bland or too tomatoey.

Bin the rice.

I know all the precautions about rice. It was cooked yesterday, been in the fridge since. Thats why I want to use it up today. As tomorrow it will be thrown.

But, it is good to keep posting links to the danger of rice, as many people are not aware that left over rice is high risk food. Cheers.

Smoked paprika and garlic perhaps? Chilli if you are a chilli person? the rice and veg can be simple if the tomato sauce is tasty. I often chuck salt and sugar into my tomato sauce, plus a dab of butter. You could also add in olives and/or chorizo to give it a bit of va va voom.....

Fresh basil on top if you have any.

I eat shedloads of left over and frozen rice, so am fairly gung ho about it.....

If plenty of onion and garlic, you just need some basil or oregano and a squirt of ketchup to make a tasty tom sauce.

I eat lots of leftover rice too

here is another link, from the NHS

Could you fashion them into a sort of fish pie with green veg on the side?

A funny food face.
Passata for the face. Meatballs for eyes. A mushroom nose, veggie mouth and rice hair.

Then bin it and go to KFC.

HA HA HA.

But thanks for all the good suggestions, (not you Rhubs) keep them coming.

I dont know HOW I can make meatballs into fish.

Thats got to be harder than turning water to wine...

Ungrateful cow!

Make a Jambalya type of thing! Our DS' like that - re-heat rice in tomato and mix in veg and meat balls to heat through. You need some seasonings in there too - whats herbs / spices / seasonings do you have / like?

I have everything from herbal, to chilli growing on the windowsill.

I am going to toss everything into the wok. Add some chilli, garlic, onions, herbs. Then let it oven bake while picking up the kids. Manic busy schedule with gymnastics, and one activity that was moved from yesterday till today, and parents meeting for First Holy Communion in the Church Hall tonight. This way tea can cook itself while I bring the boys home.

Thank you.

(Even you, Rhubs )

I remember those meetings for FHC Quint. In our class (I had to stay with ds because of his anxiety) they were teaching the kids about the 10 Commandments and one of them asked what 'adultery' was. The sacristan explained it was when someone who was married wanted to be with other people too and not just the person they were married to. A little girl piped up "like my aunty Tracey then, she sees lots of men and my daddy calls her a bad name!"

I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself, until I looked up and saw the whole room just looking at me sternly

oh dear.
