Was using up bits & pieces in my larder yesterday and ended up making this SUPER YUMMY dish for dinner. Talk about delicious accidents! You could change this recipe up a hundred different ways, I reckon. Anyway, believe it or not, all the ingredients listed were leftovers / stuff kicking around that needed to be used up! This recipe will easily feed about 3 hungry people, and it's really inexpensive because very little meat is used (but it wasn't missed). Hope y'all give this a go! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon flour |
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon lard or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 onion, diced |
2 carrots, diced |
2 celery ribs, sliced (optional) |
1 large potato, cut into 1 inch cubes |
1 tomato, chopped roughly |
1 cup stock, any kind |
1/2 cup white wine |
2 bay leaves |
1 teaspoon thyme |
1 cup cooked chicken, diced |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (roughly chopped or crumbled) |
2 cups cooked rice |
2 cups cooked spinach |
1/2 cup sweet corn kernel (canned or frozen) |
salt |
black pepper |
frozen puff pastry |
Directions:
1. Heat the fat and mix in flour to make a roux.
2. Gradually add the stock and wine.
3. Boil up onion, carrots, celery, tomato, potato, bay leaves and thyme in stock and wine until vegetables are tender.
4. Stir in chicken, rice, corn and parmesan. You want the mixture to be slightly goopy.
5. Season with salt and pepper and pour into a shallow baking dish.
6. Spread the spinach over the mixture.
7. Cover with puff pastry, tucking in pastry at the sides.
8. Bake at 180C until pastry is golden, about 20 minutes.
