Over time I tend to collect some weird ingredients in my pantry. Every once and a while I like to make some flexible dish where I can use up the ingredients in my pantry or vegetables that are on their way out. Considering y’all may also be in one of these situations right now, I figured today I would show you one of these go to super flexible dishes where you can use up old vegetables or some cans of food you may have laying around in the pantry in an unexpected way.
