So, you over cooked last night and now you are wondering what to do with all the left over food. Here is my solution and it works all the time. I simply make a pie – aptly called “Left Over Pie”. It's a huge cheat but who cares – it tastes good!!
In my case, the left overs comprise, chicken breasts, peas, carrots and mashed potato. Here are the extra ingredients:
2 ready rolled puff pastries
1 can chicken soup (best quality that you can afford)
1 egg for brushing the pastry
Sesame seeds or grated Parmesan(optional)
Unroll the pastries and smooth out lightly with a rolling pin. In a large mixing bowl add the left overs – chicken, vegetables and mash. Add the soup into the mixture to create the sludgy (most unappetizing!) pie filling. Divide the filling into the pastries and close. Turn the pies into a non-stick baking tray and brush with egg. Sprinkle sesame seeds or parmesan and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes until the pastry is golden and crispy.
Serve with a fresh salad – your guests will think you slaved all day making pie! Hush, its our secret.
