CHEESY PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE

I got this recipe from a Chinese friend of mine. She says that this one-pot dish is easy and quick to make and you can get all the ingredients in any big supermarket. It will make a nice change to Friday night’s Chinese take-away!

Ingredients: (serves 4)

2tbs olive oil

1 medium onion - diced

3 medium carrots - cut into small cubes

100g frozen peas

100g frozen sweet corns

150g bacon lardon

200g cooked prawns

400g cooked rice

200g fresh pineapple - cut into chunks

30ml pineapple juice

200g shredded pre-mixed four cheeses

1tsp mild curry powder

Method:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan under a medium heat and add bacon, diced onion and carrots to stir fry until cooked.
• Add cooked rice, frozen peas and sweetcorn to the pan and fry until cooked.
• Add chunky pineapple, pineapple juice, cooked prawns, and curry power to the pan and carry on stir frying for a further 3 mins.
• Spread the cheese on top and turn the heat off.
• Put the lid on the saucepan and wait for 3 mins.
•  When served the cheese will be completely melted just like a pizza topping.
