With Halloween just round the corner, I’ve spotted some great recipes on the ‘home made by you‘ Sainsbury’s website where they’ve come up with some cute pumpkin and ghoulish surprises that will entertain kids if you’re having a party and want to make some homemade treats.
I love these and the recipe seems fairly easy to conjure up too:
Jack-o-lantern rice bites

Ingredients
- 250g sushi rice
- 300ml carrot juice
- Juice of ½ orange
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
- 16 green bean tips
- 2 pitted black olives
Method
- Rinse the rice in cold water, then drain. Add the rice along with the carrot juice, orange juice and 50ml water to a saucepan. Stir in the ground cumin and salt, then bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave to stand for 30 minutes. Uncover and leave to cool.
- Shape the rice into 16 balls, pressing firmly with your hands. If the rice sticks to your hands, lightly sprinkle them with water when rolling.
- Make the pumpkin stems by sticking the green bean tips on top of the balls. Make the eyes and mouths by cutting the olives into shapes and pressing into the rice balls.
I think this is a brilliant recipe and will definitely try it at home with my kids.
