Fridge-forage Tex-Mex rice with prawns

A great opportunity to clear out the veg drawer! Use whatever you have to hand – courgette instead of carrot, peas instead of sweetcorn, or celery in place of onion

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 pepper, any colour, deseeded and diced (we used red)
  • 6 spring onions or 1 small onion, chopped, plus 1 finely shredded to garnish
  • 1½-2 tsp fajita spice mix
  • 125g small frozen prawns
  • 100g frozen or tinned sweetcorn, drained
  • 1 medium carrot, coarsely grated
  • 250g cold cooked rice (we used a pack of precooked brown rice)

Step by step

  1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan. Add the pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the spring onions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the spice mix, still-frozen prawns, sweetcorn and grated carrot and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the prawns are starting to heat through. Scatter in the rice and heat through thoroughly, stirring, until piping hot. Serve immediately with the shredded spring onion on top, and any extra garnishes of your choice. 
    Tip
    Use whatever you have to hand – courgette instead of carrot, peas instead of sweetcorn, or celery in place of onion. You could also switch the prawns for cooked chicken or ham. This is lovely topped with a dollop of soured cream or natural yogurt, plus chopped chilli, coriander or lime wedges.

    Make it veggie
    Replace the prawns with a can of rinsed and drained kidney beans.

    Slim it down
    Use cauliflower rice as a low-carb alternative.
