5 great ideas for turning leftovers into superb dishes

We usually cook up a storm for Sunday lunch, family gatherings or simply for supper – and, in most cases, there will be stand-alone leftovers which range from vegetables, rice, meat etc. Often we put the plate, bowl or pot inside the fridge with a subconscious mind that automatically says “You’ll eat this again” – knowing after a few days it will land in the garbage bin. If you monitor your fridge daily, you might find it before it starts to mold. Good for you!

Luckily, leftovers can be put to good use. Perhaps the quantity of leftover food won’t allow you to make a meal to invite everyone over – but it should be suffice for an extra meal. Just add your favourite ingredients that appeal to your taste.
