- Roast chicken: shred and use in fajitas, wraps or salads. You can also mix it with a mushroom sauce and accompany it with pasta.
- Bolognese: spread leftovers on a pizza or mix with beans for a "kind" of chilli.
- Fish: try it in various pastries or fish burgers.
- Rice: you can sauté the rice with egg, bacon, peas or other ingredients you have at home.
- Potato puree: use it to make gnocchi, for example.
- Bread: you can make breadcrumbs flavoured with herbs and freeze or use them in sweet or savoury bread-based puddings.
- Varied vegetables: at the end of each week, check the leftover vegetables in the fridge and make a sort of spring salad or tortilla with a bit of everything.
Certain recipes, especially those containing meat and sauce, usually gain consistency, flavour and texture after a while. This is the case with soups, curries, stews and casseroles. This phenomenon happens not only because of chemical reactions between the food and the seasoning, but some also attribute it to our own senses. While we cook we get used to the aromas and flavours of the recipe, but the next day our sense of smell is more awake and fresh and we can better perceive the nuances of flavour.
