Brown rice is quick to cook and is available in most grocery stores and supermarkets. Be as creative as you like when choosing the beans.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 25 g butter
• 1 red onion, peeled and chopped
• 4 cups cooked brown rice
• 225 g can sweetcorn kernels
• 500 g can mixed pulses (or mix 3 x 225 g cans pulses choosing any combination of red kidney beans, chickpeas, butter beans, black eyed peas or flageolet beans)
• ½ tsp dried mixed herbs
• 4 sun dried tomatoes, finely sliced

1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a saute or frying pan. Add the onion and cook until tender, being careful not to let it burn or go crisp.
