But we had some bits and pieces in the fridge festering away.
We had butter (35p) and flour (10p) so I bunged a roughly 50/50 mixture in the food processor until it was like breadcrumbs, added water and...pastry! It would make Mrs Patmore wince I expect, but it wasn't too bad.
10 minutes of blind baking later, I added an onion chopped and fried (12p) , a handful of frozen spinach from the freezer (defrosted) (8p) and half a block of feta, shoved in the freezer to save it going off months ago (60p). Four eggs went in - the most expensive ingredient (£1). Oh, and a handful of chopped flat leaf parsley from a plant I have in a pot in the garden - still hanging on, but past its best.
The carrot (6p) and half the leftover cabbage (17p) along with 1/2 a red onion (5p) went in the processor too, and with a blob of wholegrain mustard and mayo (30p) served as coleslaw.
So satisfying to make a really tasty lunch out of leftovers, for a grand total of £2.85 and which took about 30 minutes (ahh, lovely food processor). Given we will get four portions out of it, that is a bargainous 71p each meal.
