- Salt and ground black pepper
- 50g frozen peas
- 50g frozen sweetcorn
- 1 (250g) sachet cooked wholegrain rice
- 2 tbsp pesto sauce
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
Method
- Heat a nonstick frying pan and when hot, add spring onions and grated courgette. Cook for 2 mins, stirring until vegetables are softened. Add the peas and corn and cook for a few minutes until hot. Spoon two thirds of the vegetables into bowl.
- Beat the eggs with a little seasoning and pour into the pan with the remaining vegetables. Stir well then cook for 2 mins. Stir again. Shake the pan to level the surface, then cook until the base is golden.
