Creative Ways to Use Up Leftovers

Turn leftover rice, roast vegetables, chicken and bread into completely new meals instead of throwing them away.

Leftover rice

Chill it quickly and use it within a day for fried rice, stuffed peppers or rice fritters.

Roast vegetables

Blend into a soup, fold into a frittata, or toss with pasta, olive oil and cheese.

Cooked chicken

Shred into tacos, quesadillas, noodle soups or a quick salad with a mustard dressing.

Stale bread

Make croutons, breadcrumbs, panzanella or a savoury bread pudding.

Stay safe

Refrigerate leftovers promptly, reheat until piping hot, and don't reheat the same food more than once.
