Pilchards and Butter Beans Fried Rice

4-5 Servings ~ 15 min
  • 3-4 cups cooked rice
  • 125 g Royal Ocean Pilchards in tomato sauce
  • 2 cups butter beans, cooked
  • 2 cups sweet corn
  • 1 cup green beans, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic and herb seasoning

This is one easy-to-do meal that can be done in 15 min or under. It’s perfect for when you have left-overs in the fridge… you work your magic and turn them into a brand new delicious meal. You can of course add some fresh elements to the dish to spruce it up. In this case, I added Royal Ocean’s Pilchards, butter beans, seasoning, and some fresh veg and herb. It was fantastic! As usual, plates were wiped clean. Give it a go 🙂 If you wish for a variety of other recipes making use of green beans, I suggest these easy recipes with green beans.
