It is delicious. (There are a few plus sides to being a bit hors de combat; other people make cakes you can eat bits of.)

Recipe for Chicken Gloop, with Onion-Rice.

Have some chicken left over after a roast.

Put a little bacon-fat, or butter if you have none, into a saucepan.

Fry two onions cut into small bits, with 200g bacon lardons from Lidl (or six rashers of bacon cut small) and about the same amount of mushrooms cut small.

Using more fat (butter, usually) and flour and stock and red wine, make a sauce in the same pan. Add the chicken cut small, put a lid on the pan, and leave to simmer for at least half an hour.

While it is simmering, cut an onion very fine, and start it frying gently with a little olive oil in a saucepan. Wash a mug full of rice, and once the onion is soft and translucent, add the rice, some salt as you like it, and then twice as much boiling water as there was rice. Put a tight lid on top and simmer for ten to twelve minutes, until the rice has absorbed all the water. Turn off the rice but donā€™t take the lid off.

And thatā€™s supper. Serve when you are ready. If you want to be Healthy about it you could have a green veg too.

I have made loads of changes to this, over the years, but if the puy lentils and dressing are sufficiently tart, hot and salty, the sweet squash is thoroughly suited.

This is good, if you like that kind of thing. Himself actually requested I make it again, which was obviously a powerful spell for keeping the veg box squash-free for the rest of the seasonā€¦
