I really like leftover lamb as it has loads of flavour and can be turned into anything like a shepherd’s pie right through to a spicy curry. This one was nice and easy and we had a dinner and another one is in the freezer. I really like to add marmite to dark stews in…

Warm Leftover Beef and Roast Potato Salad with Horseradish and Mustard
I hate wasting food so I wanted to use up my Sunday roast leftovers. I’ve only ever put leftover new potatoes in a salad but I thought why not roast potatoes. I’m not keen on them cold so zapping them in the microwave for a minute worked perfectly making it a nice warm salad. The…
Leftover Pork Stir Fry with Cauliflower Rice and Char Siu Sauce
If you’ve got some leftover pork or chicken, this is delicious. This recipe has loads of flavour and it’s so quick an easy to make. You can just chuck in any vegetables you have, fresh or frozen. I used a mix of both. I was tired from a long day at work and this was…
Chinese Leftover Chicken, Sweetcorn, Egg and Noodle Soup
Chicken roast is so simple but probably my favourite roast of all time, I always have Yorkshire puddings and crispy roast potatoes and no veg 🫣. Chicken gravy is epic too if you use the chicken juices and a good quality stock. So after my roast I had a gorgeous carcass left and I always…
Homemade Tacos with Leftover Beef, Avocado and an Asparagus Slaw
I love tacos and P treated me to some taco holders, which I must say are brilliant. I’ve never made my own tortilla before but they turned out really good and were easier than I thought. At the moment asparagus is bang in season so I’m using them in lots of different ways, this slaw…
Leftover Lamb Tagine with Harrisa, Olives and Chickpeas
So for Easter we cooked a shoulder of lamb and as there is only two of us two fur babies we had a lot leftovers. In the past I’ve made leftover lamb hotpot and Ragu so fancied a change and I’m in love with sweet paprika at the moment and I also had some bags…
Light Leftover Beef Goulash
This is such a good way to use up leftover beef as the sauce keeps the beef nice and moist. It’s also really easy to make as it is just a one pot. I love the flavour of the mushrooms and sour cream instead of heavy cream. Ingredients 2 banana shallots, peeled and diced finely…
Caesar Style Leftover Chicken Salad
So we had roast chicken last night and there was quite a lot of meat left I filled up poppy the puppy’s bowl and still had quite a bit so decided to make a chicken salad. I didn’t have any Parmesan so I used cheddar cheese instead. I always use the the Carcass as a…
Delicious Treacle Tart
I had some bread left over and decided to have a go at treacle tart. It was delicious and a nice change from bread and butter pudding. It set beautifully and wasn’t too sugary. I found it quite easy to make you just have to remember to let it cool and set before slicing. I…
Foraged Wild Garlic, Chicken, Chorizo and Cheese Croquettes
As we are still in lockdown I went a bit mad foraging for wild garlic. So far I have made wild garlic salt, oil and pickled buds (recipes to come). We managed to have a roast chicken on Sunday and I picked off the leftover meat. With the carcass I made a beautiful chicken stock…
Easy Leftover Roast Lamb Ragu and Pasta
Lamb is the only meat I don’t like cold in a leftover salad and as it isn’t the cheapest meat in the world it is satisfying to get another meal out of it. This recipe is simple but really tasty as I used spices and herbs on the slow roasted lamb. Perfect for Monday or…
Leftover Roast Lamb, Aubergine and Parmesan Bake
Lamb roast has to be one of my favourite dinners, but I don’t like the leftovers cold and I hate wasting food. I also like a parmigiana and thought lamb goes really well with aubergine. This recipe is really yummy and great way to use up leftovers. Ingredients 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped 1…
Leftover Sausage and Sun Dried Tomato Salad with Parmesan Croutons and a Brown Sauce Dressing
So we had a couple of sausages leftover from dinner one night and a stub of sourdough so I thought I would make a salad. It worked really well and had a really comforting flavour. The crunch from the croutons really finish off. It kind of tastes like a deconstructed breakfast. I really loved the…
Chicken, Pea, Bacon and Cider Bake with a Crushed New Potato, Mustard and Spring Onion Topping Recipe
I haven’t posted for a while as i have been on holiday for 2 weeks in the Caribbean. The food out there was delicious particularly the jerk chicken with Caribbean sides and the fried sailing fish with rice and beans. When we got back we fancied something simple and easy to make so I went…
Tasty Left Over Roast Lamb Hotpot Recipe
Lamb is definitely my favourite roast but unlike chicken and beef it isn’t very pleasant cold in a salad or sandwich. It is great in a curry or tagine but I had some potatoes left over so I went for a hotpot for a change. This was so tasty, my lamb had a spice rub…
