Using just a medium amount of meat, plus swede, carrots, onion, potatoes and a bit of kidney, I was able to make two side plate pies:
We had half of one each for lunch, the other will freeze for a later date. As you can see above, the scraps of pastry were rolled to give us 6 mince pies!
I'm trying to work out what needs using up first. Like you I'm making everything stretch that little further.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to make one, freeze one for when the situation gets worse, bring the army in I say.
DeleteIt all looks absolutely delicious!

Thanks Joy. Should prove more interesting as time goes on.
DeleteLooks amazing!! I'm also being very conscious about using every scrap of food wisely
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think we may all have to get creative.
DeleteI had a baking session today and will freeze some. The pies look good
ReplyDeleteThanks. Freezers pretty full as it’s small so must keep rotating food.
DeleteGood for you on stretching what you have.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you.
DeleteThose look great! I hope all stays well with you.
ReplyDeleteAnd for everyone once we get the idiots off the streets.
DeleteThose look brilliant … I LOVE pies :-)
ReplyDeleteUs too but we try to limit them.
DeleteI love that you made mince pies with the leftovers. Coincidentally, I just wrote a post about leftovers (thisissixty.blog)
ReplyDeleteWasn’t my best pastry but still okay.
