Pancakes are a great vehicle for using up leftovers, and tonight saw off the last of Sunday's chicken, mixed with mushrooms and parsley in a bechamel sauce, rolled up in the pancakes, glazed with more sauce and some Parmesan, and baked till bubbling and crisp. The flat is now full of the aroma of a soup made from the carcase, with celery, root veg, leeks, cannellini beans and rosemary - perfect for lunch over the next couple of days. All from a free-range chook costing just under a tenner. Not bad, eh?
Chicken is one of the original 'frugal foods', isn't it - there's so much you can do with it and every bit of yummy goodness can be extracted.
