Leftover Delight

After the Secret Supper Club on Saturday night, I found that there was quite a bit of uncooked Purple Sprouting Broccoli left. I must admit after a recent trip to Vinoteca the other week, I have been craving PSB and Anchovy dressing constantly after been served it at Vinoteca with braised shoulder of veal. I even served it at Saturday nights Secret Super with the Mutton Pie.

So returning from work this evening I had a quick scout around in the fridge to see what else was knocking about and found half a pack of fresh lasagna sheets from the local Italian deli and a jar containing four fat Italian anchovies.

I must admit, eating this tonight was amazing. Just what I needed on a Monday night after work. It may even become the new Monday night easy comfort food, sadly knocking mushrooms and poached eggs on toast off the top spot. Oh well ........
