I almost forgot to tell you lovely readers out there about this little gem of a dish, of which I never imagined tasting as nice as it did. I have come up with different versions of this before but not so much with these ingredients, more spicy, such as Mexican style.
It was in the middle of my “Roast Pork challenge” and by lunch time of the 3rd and final day, I was crying out for something Vegetarian. I do like my Meat, but I also like variety in a week. So I took a look into my Fridge and I literally save everything that I can safely put back into another meal the following day. Here in my fridge were various tubs of cooked vegetables, including the potatoes. I assembled all ingredients with lids off the tubs and took a glare. Ok Im going to whack everything together, add Eggs and spices, a bit like Bubble and Squeak and Hope for the best!
It was lovely. Warming,comforting and a really nice Lunch that again was very cheap and quick to allow me to carry on writing. So if you have any of your Veg from yesterdays Roast, why not give this a Go?…
*Not the Greatest looking dish, I know!* but tastes lush.
