I took the drained vegetables from my stew made the other day and chopped them a bit finer.
Then I made up some pastry with the last of last weeks fat ration ... there was a smidge over 2oz, so a bigger smidge over 4oz of flour and a pinch of salt ... rolled it out and cut out six circles, three for the bottoms and three for the tops, left them all to rest in the fridge, the bottoms in the greased tin to get the right shape and the tops on a plate wrapped in clingfilm.
After a few minutes I filled the bottoms with the vegetable mixture and added the tops, brushing them all with milk and cooked them in a hot oven for 20 minutes.
One eaten straight from the oven with gently boiled cabbage and Bisto gravy and two left to cool and stashed in the fridge.
Delicious.
The easiest recipe ever:
Take leftovers
Make pastry
Put leftovers into pastry
Cook
Eat and enjoy.
Anything edible wrapped in pastry is elevated to whole other level in my humble opinion.

I do like easy recipes nowadays, can't be doing with faffing about with complicated stuff now! Pies make everything taste wonderful, don't they.
ReplyDeleteYes, they really do, I just love pastry ... I could literally just bake a slab of it and eat it hot out of the oven ... my waistline would not thank me though. ;-)
DeleteLooks delicious! I agree - anything wrapped in pastry is wonderful! Especially with gravy! Your photos are making hungry!
ReplyDeleteIt's making me hungry just looking at that top photo now. :-)
DeleteSomething just so comforting about eating a tasty pie with gravy

There really is, isn't there. :-)
DeleteThe pies sound so scrumptious that I could almost smell them. Have you ever made scones in the Remoska? They are delicious and so much easier than heating up the oven in this hot weather. Wouldn't do for the pastry cooking I don’t think but would reheat perfectly in the Remoska. Catriona
ReplyDeleteYes, I do it a lot of the time, usually when I am either making four at a time or one round, quartered. Unfortunately, the ones I made the other day wouldn't have fitted in. I do reheat pastry items in the Remoska, but I have never cooked a pie from scratch in it.

ReplyDeleteNot just your opinion but a Universal Truth!
For sure!! :-)
