Tips From Easy Recipes
How To Get A Meal On The Table In 20 Minutes!

Zucchini steamed ontop of rice

Here is how I get the entire meal on the table in 20 mins.

  • Cut up the vegetables and lay them on top of the half cooked rice. Cover with the lid and allow the heat from the rice to steam the veg. 

  • Select an easy receipe with ingredients that are more than likely in your pantry or easily obtainable from your local supermarket. The ideal receipe is one with everyday ingredients that'll create a delicious wholesome meal with the least amount of fuss.

  • The first thing to do when cooking sides for any receipe is cook the ingredient that will take the longest - and in this instance it's the rice. So, put that on the stove before doing anything else

  • Start the process with this receipe and heat up the oil. While the oil is heating, and this is only for a minute or so, quickly dice the onion, then toss into the heated oil

  • Wash up as you go along so that there's never a pile up of dishes for later

  • There you are, the hero dish from the butter chicken receipe, the rice and steamed vegetables ready within 20 mins!
