Name That Stew!?!

Christmasshopper · 27 June 2007 at 5:21PM

I have defrosted my fridge today and had some food that needed cooking and eating before I buy anymore.
There was:
1 chicken breast fillet
3 Quorn fillets
carrots
onions
tiny Jersey new potatoes.
I have chopped it all up. Browned the chicken and the Quorn then chucked it all big pan with a couple of chicken Oxos. It has been cooking for about 20 minutes and smells very tasty. I just gave it a stir and thought it looked a bit bland, so I bunged a tin of kidney beans in too.
But the question is...What shall I call it? I know it's leftovers, but I want to fool my family into thinking I have cooked them something wholesome and fabulous.

Name That Stew!

Well, I'd make a chicken chilli! If it's already covered in gravy - savoury chicken chilli! Serve with wedges or tortillas and the family will think it's mexican night

It's already got the tiny new potatoes in. It actually looks ok just as it is, although I could add some tinned tomatoes / herbs / spices etc.
What I want is a name to make it sound like a proper recipe. You know, like they do on Masterchef.

(I don't think I need to point out that the Quorn isn't chicken. So it could be chicken something-or-other,)

Im glad you have a sense of humour...i just couldnt help myself... it doesnt take much to amuse me you know.:o
I was going to suggest "lucky dip" but it was far to simple for them to work out... tombowler could be some old guy from a cookbook:T

It was actually quite delicious. I put some herbs in it and served it with garlic bread. DD said, "I like this vegetable soup. Is it out of a tin?" :eek:
