Turning food that's on it's last legs into 3 to 4 meals.....
I had half a head of Cabbage, a Red Bell Pepper, a few Celery stalks and two Tomatoes that were at the use it or lose stage so being cheap, I used them.
I started the pan with a little Bacon Fat then browned up a pound of Ground Venison and seasoned it with a little Liquid Smoke, Pepper and Worcestershire.
When browned through I set it aside in a clean bowl and started with the Cabbage.
Once the Cabbage was semi cooked I added in the Bell Pepper, Celery and three large minced Garlic Cloves.
When they were semi done I tossed back in the Venison and the diced Tomatoes simmered for several minutes and then folded in some Al Dente Rotini.
Plated (rather sloppily) then grated a small piece of Old Cheddar that also was also at the use it or lose stage.
It was really good, I'm looking forward to another serving this evening (without the cheese).
