Chef Violeta shares one of her favorite food saving dishes from her grandmother - chicken pie that uses leftover chicken and radish greens. This adaptable recipe can be prepared with other meats and vegetables.

HISTORIA DE LA RECETA/ History of the Recipe:

La comida de reciclaje es muy especial para mi, ya que me recuerda la creatividad de mi abuela; Siempre al fin del mes el presupuesto de la comida en mi casa era apretado y mi Abuela era tan mágica con sus ideas y manos para cocinar; Ella usaba muchas hojas o cáscaras de vegetales que comúnmente se tiran en el basurero; Ella transformaba los restos de toda la semana con hojas nuevas en deliciosas recetas que resultaban ser la comida del dia viernes. Ella me enseñó a valorar, ahorrar y transformar la comida en deliciosos alimentos Y esta receta de hojas de rábano era su favorita porque eran muchas hojas y muy poco pollo o carne pero delicioso, es una de muchas recetas especiales llenas de amor de mi abuela.

Recycling food is very special to me, as it reminds me of my grandmother's creativity; Always at the end of the month the food budget in my house was tight and my Grandmother was so magical with her ideas and her hands to cook; She used many leaves or vegetable skins that are commonly thrown in the landfill; She transformed the remains of the whole week with new leaves into delicious recipes that turned out to be the meal on Friday. She taught me to value, save, transform and stop food waste at home and in the community. This recipe for radish leaves was her favorite because it had a lot of leaves and very little chicken or meat but it was delicious, it is one of many special recipes full of love from my grandmother.
