Leftovers

Roast Chicken, potato and leek Pie

Frangipane Tart

Sundays at my place is a time to try out new recipes and do my housework. I am so lucky to have such a considerate partner in W who is more than happy to help out with laundry and vacuuming to free me to bake a few goodies for Sunday dinner.

Today's theme in the kitchen is leftovers. My challenge is to use up left over bolognaise sauce, fried chicken, fruit and roast chicken. My first dish was a KFC chicken fried rice with chinese sausage, frozen vege and egg. That'll be lunch for the next few days.

Next I made a lasagne to use up the bolognaise sauce. I already had some lasagna sheets so I whipped up a white sauce and dumped in half a cup of left over pecorino cheese. That'll be dinner for tomorrow.

Then I decided to dice up the roast chicken breast and roast potatoes and turn it into a Chicken and Leek pie. I had a spare leek which I fried up and then added flour and stock to form a sauce and dumped in the chicken and potatoes. Defrosted a piece of puff pastry and that was dinner for tonight.

Lastly, I decided to try Matt Moran's Frangipane Tart recipe to use up some strawberries left over from my second attempt at pavlova. This will be dessert tonight.
