This is quite the "use up the leftovers" recipe for you!
Ingredients
Left over meat (I have 3 sausages and I am going to find some chicken or maybe something else...or maybe not?)
Left over roast veges (I have left over kumera and pumpkin)
Onions or Spring onions
White or cheese sauce
Pastry
Make white sauce (melt 1 T butter, add a couple of T flour, mix into paste and add a couple of cups of water...not too much or it wont thicken, not too little or it will get thick too fast and turn into a big clump...there must be a proper recipe somewhere out there, but this is how I make it...and it is different every time! - then put in microwave for a couple of minutes, take out and stir, heat again for less time, stir, repeat with less and less time in microwave until it has thickened to your preference! You can also add some cheese at the end here if you are making a cheese sauce)
Chop or veges and meat into smaller bits, throw into white sauce, if using spring onions, slice them and throw in, if using brown onions, chop and fry them in a little oil to soften first, then throw them in.
Add salt and pepper and any other herbs or spices to taste, turn out into a casserole dish.
Put a sheet of ready made pastry on top
Bake at 180*C for about 30 or 40 minutes til nicely browned
If I remember, I will photograph this tomorrow night and put the pic up.
i have made this "recipe" adding half a tin of tomatoes, some random herbs that felt like they might taste good together and spoonful of wholegrain mustard, oh and some grated parmesan cheese. I thought it tasted great.
