ON A MISSION

I'm on a mission to clear out the refrigerator.
We're off on holidays in a couple of day's time so we are trying to finish off the food that we have in the fridge.
So on Friday night we had roast leg of lamb.....




with roast pumpkin, potatoes, sweet potato, onions,....
cauliflower and zucchini cheese ( au gratin )
and baby peas.

Mint jelly and gravy to finish it off.

YUM !

I used all the vegetables I had so there would be some leftover veges.

Then I chopped them all up, added chopped up lamb, mint jelly and leftover gravy,
mixed them all together and made these using my trusty pie maker.

 When I had used all the shortcrust pastry, I made a couple of turnovers with some puff pastry.


That took care of Saturday and Sunday lunches and cleared the fridge.

Mission accomplished!

Cheers.

  1. Looks like a delicious meal Helsie! Hubby got take out for me tonight so I didn't have to cook. We have rain coming the next three days and I wasn't 100% today. Good old sinuses go crazy when the weather changes. I bet you are getting excited about your trip. Well, it's 12:31 AM here I better get off to bed.

  6. Folks,
    In our house we rarely have leftovers but if we do no-one eats them. Now I have a Pie Maker I often make a little extra when I'm cooking or sometimes make up fillings specially. Then I made a patch of perfect pies and freeze them for later. Great for Sunday night in front of TV or emergency meals with veges.
    I've even had friends over for a Pie Night and they loved them.
    PS I use frozen shortcrust pastry in my pies.
