Having leftovers handy can be a great trick to cut short on meal prepping time during the week – especially after you spent all weekend putting together a generous feast. For the bits of your roast dinner that continue to sit in your fridge, here’s how you can repurpose them into delicious meals.
Shredding roasted chicken or lamb to combine with vegetables and a sauce is a great way to construct a hearty lunch sandwich.
If the number of leftovers you have on hand are minimal and not enough to expand to a meal, simply combine with a flavourful broth and vegetables for a comforting bowl of soup.
Want to feel good after a weekend of binge eating? Switch back to health mode with a hearty salad made using all your Easter leftovers – meats, vegetables and sauces.
Slow-cooking might not be a luxury you can afford while juggling hectic tasks, so just throw a bunch of ingredients together in a pot to simmer, while you tackle the day ahead.
Whether it is a fried rice or a simple preparation of chicken and vegetables, using up chunks of meat from the leftovers cuts down on cooking time drastically.
Bring a little Mexican fiesta in the form of cheesy and saucy enchiladas that is sure to feed a group of people with minimal effort from you.
Pulled lamb or pulled chicken? Take your pick and go crazy with all kinds of toppings – sour cream, grated cheese, guacamole, refried beans or even a spicy pineapple salsa.
