A simple mid week family dish, that was easily adapted to the contents of my fridge.<br/>I didn't have instant brown rice, so used ordinary long grain, adding more stock to it, as it wasn't going to be enough to cook it otherwise, and added a few minutes to the cooking time.<br/>A tasty dish, that we all enjoyed.<br/>Made for PRMR.
