Oh Marguerite Patten would be proud of me today. Yesterday we used up what we had lying around and today I used up the leftovers from that! The WI should make me an honourary member!!

Chicken Chasseur with 'veggie burger rice'! Here's how you do it. Take 200g of chicken breast, chop into cubes along with a pepper, small onion and four carrots. Sauté them all together. (Notice the Ministry of Food influence - lots of veg and not much meat!)
Mix up the casserole sauce, which of course was on offer in Lidl and were 3 for £1 - bargain!! Leave to simmer for half an hour whilst waiting for dearly beloved to get home.
Next take the veggie burgers and the half bag of spinach left from a previous dinner. Wash the spinach so it's clean and wet.
Stir the veggie burgers into some left over rice, that I had previously put in the freezer 'for another day' and stir them together.
Add the spinach, a knob of utterly butterly, the rice and spinach into a microwavable bowl. Add a splash of lemon juice (I always have a bottle in the fridge for cooking and cleaning purposes) cover with clingfilm and cook for three minutes as dearly beloved comes through the door. Sorry I didn't get a photo of the finished dinner but the batteries are flat in my camera and I haven't charged any yet - but it was lovely. Not quite £1 each due to the chicken and there was some spare for lunch tomorrow, already in a plastic pot ready to take to work and heat up for my lunch. So that makes it leftover, from my leftover from my leftovers!!!! Nothing but nothing gets wasted here - I tell you !
