Last night’s French dinner left us with a variety of leftovers. So what to do? Make a casserole from the odds and ends. This is what we call a gemisch.
I got out the leftover brown rice, chicken thighs, cooked leeks, and chicken broth out of the refrigerator. I also got a partial bottle of piquillo peppers and a small Spanish chorizo sausage out of the fridge and a partial bag of artichoke hearts out of the freezer. I microwaved the artichoke hearts, then stirred in the rice, chicken, chorizo, peppers, and leeks. For seasoning I added some thyme and marjoram. I moistened the mixture with a little chicken broth, covered the casserole with foil, and baked it at 375° for 30 minutes. It wasn’t quite up to 160° yet, so I microwaved it for 3 minutes. I served it with some Middle Eastern chopped salad that one of the revelers left behind.
Not bad. It could have used a bit more seasoning.

Last night in review.
