rice, raw sage marinated vegetables and tasty bread crumbs

  we are a big family, 4 kids, husband and father in law.

daughter n°4 is vegetarian

daughter n°3 is allergic to so many things I can't remember

son n° 2 can eat whatever not putting on weight

son n°1 is the complete opposite, can't even see food without increasing

hubby is a big pasta lover (well, he loves any FOOD)

my father in law doesn't eat fish

aaaaaaaaaaargh!! 

sometimes I get hysterical in the kitchen! :)))

so, this is one of those dishes that suites everybody.

vegetarian, healthy, tasty and a stomach filler without being caloric.

wow! 1 dish for all the family!

and, the best thing you use leftovers! 

no food waste, no bad conscious.

Rice with raw sage marinated vegetables 

and tasty bread crumbs

you need:

leftover boiled rice (possible steamed)

tomates

zucchinis

onion or leek

red bell pepper

(blender old bread, parmigiano cheese and parsley)

extra virgin olive oil

fresh crushed green pepper (or black)

cut the vegetables in small pieces, especially the zucchinis

 cut the sage in tiny slices and mix with some olive oil.

add the vegetables and mix well. let marinate for some hours

(perfect if you leave in the fridge during the night)

mix the marinated vegetables with the rice,

 and add the cheese cubes 

 spread the bread crumbs over.

toss and mix with your hands. 

if you like you can add some drops of olive oil.

before serving, season with a generous crush of green pepper.

Brigidaa_te:

in blending the bread crumbs you can add tasty cheese, 

parsley or other herbs you like.

some garlic and/or chili.

put your bread crumbs in a glass jar and store in the freezer. 

will conserve for at least 6 months.

to have a stronger taste you can toast them

in a pan with no grease

(pay attention that it doesn't get to

dark and bitter)

this evening I made fish for Helena (daughter n°3) and me

for my father in law I made a rich potato salad.

for the three of us, this magical sunset.
