No money to feed my kids recipe

[MissDaisy]

Well, I’m out of funds completely, and I have.. spam, pasta and tuna
in my cupboard as well as rice.
I decided to be imaginitive for once, so here is a recipe, I quite
enjoyed it, reminded me of risotto.

Ingredients
1 large red onion
some rice, probably about a cup
half a tin of spam ( chopped )
garlic – 1/2 cloves, or a teaspoon of lazy garlic
a teaspoon of tomato puree
a pinch of salt
chilli powder ( not necessary, but it adds something ).

Method
Pre-cook the rice using whatever method you like – steaming is
probably better than boiling, but as long as there is no excess
water, who cares?
When the rice is cooking, chop your red onion into nice large chunks.

Once the rice is cooked, or just before if you’re feeling multi-
taskable, fry the onion and garlic together in some olive oil, and
add the tomatoe puree once they are done. Mix that in and add the
salt. Pour the rice over the top of this mess and fold it all
together.
While you’re folding and mixing it together, add your chilli powder
if you want, and once the mixture has gone a reddish colour, add your
chopped spam until its likely to be hot, and its beginning to ‘turn’.

Spoon it out into a bowl, voila. Something to eat.

Took me about 20 minutes all together, and it certainly makes a
difference from the pasta that I normally eat.

There are many cheap dishes to make with rice also…believe me I
have had no money to feed my kids cuz I had to pay bills. It sucks
but we did survive! If they are hungry enough they will try it.

spam is cheap and there is a million ways to make it

tuna pasta never fails. and when you run out of tuna, you can just
eat the pasta.

if tuna is too expensive, a tomato sauce of a sort is a cheap option.
