I am running a little low on supplies but I am feeling under the weather and don't want to go shopping. That means I would have to improvise and cook with whatever is on hand. It being Sunday, something special is expected.
               So I searched high and low in my Pantry and found a can of Corned Lamb and decided I would make sometihng out of it. And voila...the simplest most flavourful dish...Onion leeks Corned Lamb and to go with it I made Chicken flavoured rice with Mushrooms and Peas and also on the side I had Steamed Cabbage. So here are the recipes. Hope you will make and enjoy them too
