Chilli to the rescue

Thursday night I made a rice dish with some leeks, red peppers, brown rice and red lentils. I thought is was tasty but a bit worthy. Neither of the children ate it and I ended up with loads left over. There was too much to throw away and I've vowed to stop using the freezer as some where to store stuff we don't want to eat before throwing it away two years later. So I got some Cumberland sausages I'd bought at the  Real Food Festival  out of the freezer (a good use of it!) and tarted  up the rice to go with them. I mixed in some ricotta cheese and fried a chopped fresh red chilli and then added the mixture to the pan with the chillies. It was much nicer this time and one of my children ate it.
