Monday Morning Fridge Sweep



So this morning’s Fridge sweep gave us a number of items to be used up and this is what we did.
Chopped up red onions, peeled, chopped carrots, garlic and softened in the microwave for about 7 minutes
Into a saucepan added chopped – courgettes, green sweet peppers, bulb of fennel, soft tomatoes. To this I added leftovers from the BBQ – sliced sausages and cubed meats.
From the store cupboard I added a tin of chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, stock cubes and a good pinch of mixed herbs.
I added the softened onions, garlic and carrots from the microwave.
For more bulk you could add some pulses, sweetcorn or gnocchi
Put the pan onto a low heat to simmer for about 1 – 2 hours.
Let it rest before reheating and serving with steamed rice – pasta, jacket potatoes or as you wish.

I now have a pot for about about 6 – 8 people and will probably use half and freeze the rest.
