Ingredients

• 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
• Prepared rice or couscous (leftovers)
• 1 red pepper, chopped fine (or any leftover veggies)
• 3/4 cup frozen corn, thawed
• Cooking spray

Supplies

• 6 six-oz. paper cups

Directions

1. Step 1

   Spray six paper cups with nonstick cooking oil.

2. Step 2

   Fill each cup with about the same amount of peas.

3. Step 3

   Spoon 3 tablespoons of the rice or couscous over the peas and press down with a spoon to make level.

5. Step 5

   Top with the corn. Press down again.

6. Step 6

   Place a small piece of wax paper on top of each cup and microwave on high power until the mixture is heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Place a saucer or plate over the cups and flip over, so the cup is upside down. Let the cups stand for about 5 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Give the cups a few taps and gently lift them off the Towers.
