I am also trying to use up leftovers as I hate throwing any food away, even if it's being recycled by the chooks, I like to see what we can make of it first.
So today I was presented with leftover couscous...
The cherubs are not mad keen on the friable texture, a bit like trying to shovel sand onto a fork!
So I mixed in a good couple of tablespoons of fig syrup - left over from making my fresh fig preserve and a couple of tablespoons of ground almond.
I then took about a heaped teaspoonful of the mixture and rolled into small balls before cooking in the oven at around 190 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes, until they had browned a little.
Delicious!!!
There was a nice texture to the bite and they hold their shape really well so are going in snack boxes too.
The most important win - the cherubs ate them!!
