International leftovers



A different take on surf and turf. I needed more space in the freezer, so I'm trying to eat through a giant Costco bag of frozen seafood ravioli to make more room. I would have liked to make a lemon butter sauce for it, but last night's bolognese will have to do. I thought the assorted land animals in the sauce would clash with the assorted sea creatures in the ravioli, but somehow it all worked together.



More recycled food. Leftover white meat chicken from the last roast chicken night. The last of a can of chipotle in adobo. More leftover roasted poblanos from who knows when. And half a packet of cream cheese sitting in the back of the cheese box. Kind of a Mexican meeting Spanish Tapas filling kind of thing.



And the chicken filling gets wrapped by some of the leftover wheat pizza dough for a kind of Mexican Italian Spanish Chinese char-siu bun type thing. The poppy seeds on top make it somewhat Jewish bagel like.



And Ta-Da! International chicken buns.



Extra veggies from my rapatootie adventures get added to MK's thanksgiving roasted veggies dish along with some breadcrumbs and apple pie cheese to make a veggie casserole thing.



And the stem of a purple cauliflower gets sliced and tossed with some sesame oil, soy sauce, and furikake seasoning for a quick little appetizer. I would have liked to squoosh some yuzu on it, but the yuzu tree refuses to flower and bear fruit.
