Salmon Lasagne
Italian Green Beans with Shallots
Cooking time:  25 minutes for menu
Cooking schedule: see below for "menu" instructions

    Our last easy dinner from leftovers, probably until fall.  We'll have leftover potato salads, during the summer...and pasta salads, but nothing as easy as this.  We'll add some lovely Italian Flat beans (or regular green beans) to add some color and round out the meal.

Salmon Lasagne                                                          Time: 20 minutes

Leftover lasagne

Reheat, either in the oven (350F, 150C) for 20 minutes or in the microwave until hot.  Serve.

Italian Green Beans with Shallots                                 Time: 25 minutes
    We get these wonderful, long, flat Italian beans this time of year.  If you don't have them substitute regular green beans or frozen Italian Beans (Bird's Eye)

6 - 8 oz Italian flat beans (or regular green beans)
1/3 cup chicken stock
2 shallots
1 tbs olive oil

Chop shallots.  Sauté shallots in oil in small skillet or saucepan.  Top and tail beans (cut off the ends...).  Cut beans into 1 1/2" (3.75cm) lengths.  When shallots are tender add the beans and chicken stock.  Cover and cook over medium heat just until beans are done, 10 - 15 minutes.  Drain and serve.

Note:  If you have any bacon lurking in the fridge, fry it with the shallots.
