Leftover Coq au Vin Cauliflower and Potato Patties Sautéed Carrots

Cooking time:  25 minutes for menu Cooking schedule: see below for "menu" instructions

Leftover Coq au Vin                                                    Time: 25 minutes

leftover chicken
leftover sauce
2 oz mushrooms  if needed - depends on what's left
2 shallots   if needed - depends on what's left
1 tbs olive oil

Clean and slice mushrooms.  Chop shallots.  Pick the chicken off the bones and cut into large chunks.  Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Add shallots and mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes.  Add chicken and sauce, cover and simmer 10 minutes.  Serve over Mashed Cauliflower and Potato Patties.

Note:  If you do not have enough sauce (a matter of taste) you can either add chicken stock or more red wine - and thicken with cornstarch if needed. 

Cauliflower and Potato Patties                                   Time: 20 minutes

1 - 2 cups leftover Mashed Cauliflower and Potato Medley
1 egg
1 tbs olive oil or butter

Lightly whisk egg in a medium bowl.  Add mashed cauliflower and potato medley and mix thoroughly.  Heat oil in large nonstick skillet.  Dividing potato mixture into fourths, spoon into hot skillet and shape into patties with the back of the spoon.  The patties should be about an 1/2" thick (1.25 cm).  Sauté about 10 minutes on each side turning once.  They should be nicely browned.  Be careful turning them so they don't break apart - if they do, just pat them back together.  Serve hot.

Sautéed Carrots                                                          Time: 25 minutes

2 - 3 carrots - depending on size and hunger
1 tbs olive oil
1 tbs butter
1/4 cup beef or chicken stock
Pepper

Peel carrots, cut in half, then each half again so you have carrot sticks.  Melt butter and oil in small skillet just big enough to hold carrots.  Add carrots and sauté 10 minutes, turning occasionally until they develop a golden color.  Add stock, cover and continue cooking until done, another 10 - 15 minutes.  Uncover, cook off pan juices, add pepper and serve.
