boxing day loafing around
If anybody out there has read my second book, The Rebel Cook: Entertaining Advice for the Clueless, you will know that I am not a cook. I am a non-cook, but a relentless hostess of dinner parties. Go figure. So The Rebel Cook is, as one of my publishers noted, an anti cookbook.
Here is my recipe for Boxing Day Loaf:
Leftover turkey (or chicken) cut into small pieces
Leftover stuffing
Leftover mashed potatoes
Leftover yams and carrots
One egg, beaten up a bit, just so it cries uncle
Salt, pepper, maybe curry if you like it
Mash it all up and squash it into a loaf pan.
Grate (or cut, if you are lazy like me) some cheddar or havarti cheese on top.
Throw it into the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Put your feet up and inhale a glass of chardonnay.
Serve with cranberry sauce or jelly and whatever else you have left over from Christmas dinner, including the wine, brandy, and cognac.
Loved this, even my idiot brother (who has become a rather strange old man) could make this, and I bet it tastes much better than you might expect. Yum.
