Lidl by work have all kinds of odd theme weeks, and earlier in the year they did some awesome Greek stuff. I bought this to fry up for home lunches - and promptly forgot about it. It floated to the bottom of the freezer where it's been for say 4 months.
It's essentially one of their bachelor chow things - a meal in a bag. Add some water and heat and you have a mix of meat, veg and carbs. But do you have any flavour or authenticity.
Hmmm - frozen Greek bits in water doesn't look great.
When the rice sucks all that moisture up though it turns into a nice small dinner. There are olives in here, decent quality pork, recognisable veggies with crunch, and of course the flavoured rice.
And it's a hit. It really takes less than 10 mins from freezer to plate (oddly the microwave recipe is slower) and it has kept pretty well unopened. I don't expect the other 2/3 of the bag to make it so long - a quick tasty lunch is always a pleasure.
Not authentic to Greek restaurant quality, but good enough for a TV meal.
