Making do...

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!

  1. I'm trying to work out what needs using up first. Like you I'm making everything stretch that little further.

    1. Thanks. Freezers pretty full as it’s small so must keep rotating food.

  8. I love that you made mince pies with the leftovers. Coincidentally, I just wrote a post about leftovers (thisissixty.blog)
