What would you cook with this?

Trying to use up leftovers. Have all basic cupboard/ fridge ingredients.

Anything better than just 'stick it in a dish with pastry on top'?

What would you cook with this?

Oh OP that would make a fab puff pastry pie thingy if you had and tinned toms/Tom purée?

Make a pan of soup with all the veg. (Add lentils if you have any)

Make bacon, sausage and cheese pasties with the rest (assuming your have some cheese)

Soup and a Pasty is a great dinner for this time of year.

Put the bacon in the freezer

  1. Cut up the sausages into bite-size pieces. Same for the bacon. Add a chopped onion and brown them in a saucepan.
  2. Open a bottle of red wine and make a start on it.
  3. While sausages and onion are browning, chop up the carrot and parsnip into bite size pieces. Cut the beans into bits an inch or so long.
  4. When everything is browned, add the veges and a tin of chopped tomatoes to the saucepan.
  5. Add a chicken or veg stock cube, some thyme, salt and pepper, dod of worcester sauce, that tomato paste in a tube.
  6. Add a large glug of red wine to the casserole. Leave casserole cooking for 30 mins; stir periodically. Roll out the pastry.
  7. While casserole is cooking, have another glass of wine. Go on your phone and dick about for 20 mins.
  8. Transfer casserole to baking dish, put the pastry on top. It'll probably go soggy. Or do it separately. I don't care, I'm not eating it.
  9. Oven at 200 for 25 mins or til the pastry looks acceptable.
  10. Serve with bread because you were too busy getting pissed to cook any carbs. Tell kids to stop moaning or they can have toast.
  11. Finish wine.

Really liked what you did with the ingredients, I especially liked the bit about the wine.
Both adding it in and glugging it down.
It's especially useful when you cook with wine to drink it at the same time.
Everything is guaranteed to taste good, no matter how it turns out!
Well done 🍷Cheers!

This ended up pretty close! (Though isn't pastry a carb?!)

I browned sausages and bacon, then removed and did onion and garlic, then parsnips and carrots, cooked off red wine, added tomatoes, seasoning + stock. Cooked then added broccoli and beans towards the end. Cut pastry into shapes and whacked in air fryer.

Just waiting to dish up
