Extreme Leftover Makeover...

Well.. the challenge was set down and we chose an e-mail from Cheryl:-

In my fridge, you can currently find :

half a white cabbage, carrots, leeks
leftover boiled potatoes and roast chicken
olives, cooked rice, red & green pepper
cooked green beans, tomatoes, cucumber

Any ideas ?!!!

Clare had a go and this is what she came up with:

For a quick mid-week lunch, make a Mediterranean Frittata with some of the potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, olives and add 2 whole eggs and 1 tablespoon of My Secret Kitchen Tapenade with Smoked Garlic per person. Add some grated cheese or fresh herbs if you have them and black pepper. Served with our new Wholegrain Beer Bread it will keep you going until dinner!



For an easy family meal with something for everyone, serve wheat or corn tortillas with a selection of fillings - make a Red Pepper Slaw by shredding the white cabbage with the red and green peppers and make a dressing with My Secret Kitchen Red Pepper Cheese Ball mix using a blend of sour cream and mayonnaise. Jazz up the rice by combining it with some of the chopped cucumber and carrot and add My Secret Kitchen Miso Dressing with Ginger to taste. Serve the fillings alongside some of the cooked chicken. If the family are looking for something hot, pre-make the wraps and cook enchilada style by placing in an ovenproof dish, spoon over My Secret Kitchen Sunset Salsa, cover with foil and back for 15 – 20 minutes and serve with sour cream.



Finally, for a surprise dinner for some-one special, sauté the potatoes until crispy and golden; steam the carrots and leeks adding a little butter and a dash of My Secret Kitchen Lemon & Chipotle Spiced Sea Salt, and warm the chicken with My Secret Kitchen Red Wine and Port finishing Sauce.
