Turkey Crumble

[ethandron]

Is what we’re having this evening.
The turkey is the frozen leftovers from Christmas, with softened leeks and mushrooms added, and stock, cream and seasoning. Topped with savoury crumble, also frozen leftovers from Christmas. Served with a mix of vegetable oven roasted chips...carrots, parsnips and swede.
As we have visitors it’s been a very easy meal to make. And has made lots of room in the freezer.
Preceded by prawn cocktail as a special request. And followed by brioche bread and butter pud.
Anyone else got stuff still in the freezer from Christmas?

I hope it isn't as revolting as it sounds.

[Rockrose]

Yes I am having prawn and smoked salmon cocktail and he is having Flemish meatballs made from sausage meat I bought for Christmas and never used

[Rockrose]

It does not sound revolting- how rude

[ethandron]

You’ll never know jackdaw ;)
Think I still have some Swedish meatballs in the freezer Rosie, and a recipe you suggested for a sauce which I’ve never made. Must dig them out.

I still have plenty beef in the frezzer as I bought and cooked a largeish joint then got invited out for Christmas, also pots of stock from the joint too - that's for tomorrow.

Pizza tonight.

Yours sounds lovely Eth.

[Tilly2]

Eth, how do you make a savoury crumble?

[Patsy33]

Sounds very tasty eth!

[ethandron]

I just make a very buttery crumble mix, without the sugar obviously, then add whatever nuts and seeds I have in. In this case it’s got sliced almonds and chopped almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts. Then a load of finely grated Parmesan and some paprika. I’m sorry I can’t be more precise about amounts but I don’t measure anything.

[ethandron]

What you going to do with the beef mamy?

[-SharonA-]

Lol @ Jackdaw! Must confess I had the same thought.

[ethandron]

What’s so revolting about it Sharon? :)

Having heard the description, I think it sounds really nice (if only you'd given it a posh French name!). I've got lots of dried cranberries, which I would have chopped and added to the topping.

The only thing we have left is chocolate. Last weekend I chopped up a whole box of M&S luxury mince pies and put them out for the birds. Was all gone in a couple of hours.

[Mamyalynne]

Probably a ros bif dins, pots and veg and a yorkie.

The crumble sounds nice. I`ve got some raw cocktail sausages in the freezer that I never cooked so I`m going to take the meat out of the skins and have them with tomorrow's roast chicken (this post has just reminded me to do that)

[ethandron]

Le crumble de dinde.
Ooh, yes, some cranberries would really add to it, ginge!

[LadyCG]

The leeks sound revolting but the rest of it sounds quite nice. Sort of thing I'd eat.

Tonight we're just having some nibbles. Duck rolls, samosas, that sort of thing. We had lunch out today with family and I had salmon with roasted vegetables, so don't really want much this evening.

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Eth. I will give that a go.

[ethandron]

Am on my way mamy, can’t resist a roast.
I think this is the first year we didn’t have a mince pie in the house Prudie.
There you go sj, these dinner threads are sometimes useful, despite what some would say. Enjoy your grub.

I’m sure you’ll like it Tilly, it always goes down a treat with everyone I serve it to.
