Good Ol' Leftovers

Good Ol Leftovers

spacer


Leftovers are never wasted in our household. Its always eaten up with gratitude especially after a busy day of work or running around. Usually its a quick and simple process of reheat and serve.


If youre however feeling a bit more creative, leftovers can be the basic foundation of an exciting new dish. Heres one of our quick and simple makeover of some leftovers Spinach and Rice in Broth

The key ingredient is the delicious leftover sauce from this pasta dish. I usually make sure Ive at least an extra cup of broth cooled and frozen till I'm ready to use it.

Next, a key staple in many diets around the world, rice doesnt have to be *fancy* like this one. Just make sure you have enough rice for 2-4 servings the one-cup of broth should be sufficient for 4 average servings. Rice can be either freshly cooked or leftovers.

Lastly, a bunch of greens of your choice finely chopped.

What to do:
1Heat saucepan and pour broth in. As soon as broth starts to simmer, stir in rice. Allow to simmer just for a few minutes; longer if youre using leftover rice rice should still be firm.


2Add in finely chopped greens and cook till desired.

3Salt to taste if necessary. I generally dont, as theres enough flavour from the initial dish.

There you go, quick and easy to put together and nutritious too. Enjoy!

When winter just wont go away

Mother Nature cant seem to decide when to truly end winter. Im getting tired of the gusty ice-cold wind and rain. Though it has been sunny, its deceivingBrr On those days, I love a good hearty soup, and a good movie and book while Im cosy indoors

The Way YOU Like It

Cooking is therapeutic. Thats subjective isnt it? Therapeutic for some could be stressful or mundane for others. It could also bring on certain aggressions like a power struggle either with certain kitchen gadgets (Shall I splatter more?, thought the hand-blender menacingly), or with your sous-chef, kitchen handerm, partner.
