left over stew/casserole

[storminabuttercup]

got some left over from last night, not enough to have as it is again, would normally put it in a plate pie, but i havent got any lard to make my pastry. Any other ideas? considered putting it in gratin dishes and topping with slices of potatoes but i am open to other ideas,

come on guys inspire me!

oh its beef in ale btw

use as a jacket potato topping?

it's a lot easier than battling with pastry!

Maybe with dumplings?
Though I think your potato idea is the best

Jamie Oliver does a left over stew risotto which is really nice! Always make it when we have left over beef stew! If you google I'm sure you can find it!

all great ideas but ive decided to make 'sloppy sandwiches' as per DP's request. yummy

going to remember these suggestions for next time and try anf get hold of that risotto recipe as couldnt find it online

Hi, the risotto is in Cook with Jamie. It's a bit long to post, due to the way it's written in the book! Its in 2 seperate sections! Basic risotto which is half cooked plus adding the stew bit and finishing the cooking! his recipe serves 8 so you'd need to scale it down to a quantity to suit you! In reality it's much easier to make than it first seems though.

ah sounds easy enough - ill have a go next time

i've flung in pasta and made a pasta bake-y thing before now....although i tend to do that when it's one serving of casserole and masses of "sauce"

grated cheese/breadcrumbs and herbs on the top, you can do it in the oven too if you like

ooh yum! in the end i topped with sliced potatoes and a bit of thyme - was lovely
