I've not blogged for a few days over Easter because I've mostly been too busy lying on the sofa and watching the entire second season of Bron (aka Broen aka The Bridge), to which I got hooked last year with the first season and the second season had me laughing, crying and everything in between. I watched 10h of it in about 2 days and learnt a lot of useful Danish and Swedish along the way. I'm now, however, back in the real world.
I remade chicken and leek "pie" as turkey, leek, spring onion and green pepper pie which was just amazing - I added sides and a base of shortcrust (frozen, ok...!) pastry, blind baked for 20 minutes first and it was far better.
That lasted me a couple of days and on the third day, I had the leftover pie filling heated up with some casatiello that R gave me (his ladyfriend, who is Italian, made it) in return for simnel cake. It's a stuffed Easter bread from Naples and was filled with different delicious garlic-laden sausages and (in R's words) "some very phallic cheese", by which I hope he meant shape. It's not something I'd had before so I really enjoyed being forced to eat it same-day and mix it with pie filling - I left content I'd no waste!!!
