So last night i whipped up an impromptu dinner using all the scraps from my freezer and fridge. Vaguely based on mario batali's chicken cacciatore recipie. I rendered the cobb smoked vt bavon i frooze back in febuary then chicken i had saved from a stock i had made last month. I pulled both those guys out of the pan and started on the sauce half an old onion, wilty celery, a little portabello. Then some yellow squash & some garlic. Hit that all with a little white wine going stale in the fridge. Reduced that. Added a cube of froozen reduced chix stock, super concentrated and delicious. I made this a week ago and was excited to add to the mix. I had leftover tomato paste i would have otherwise just tossed. Also there was the very bottom, meaning not enough to use and not enough to toss, newman's soclarooni, so I added a little water and tossed that in. Finished some rotini lying around i the cupboard. Tossed it all together with some fresh basil and parsley. And voila dinner from nothing.
