Leftover Rice Mess

I had a bunch of leftovers in the fridge from red beans & rice (I'll post this recipe later this week) and some other stuff, so I decided to throw this concoction together. I used the rice, the beans, some eggs that needed to be used, and some leftover vegetables from lunch yesterday. It's similar to fried rice, but I didn't use any oil or butter.



Leftover Rice Mess
2 eggs
1 cup cooked rice
1/3 cup red beans from Red Beans & Rice recipe
1/3 cup cooked vegetables (I used peas & mushrooms)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1. Scramble the eggs in a non-stick pan.
2. Push the eggs to the side and cook the beans in the open space. When beans are warm and less soupy, mix with eggs.
3. Add vegetables and mix thoroughly.
4. Add rice and Worcestershire sauce and mix. Heat until all ingredients are warm. Enjoy!
