- 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 chili.
- Fish: try it in fish tacos 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 bread crumbs flavored with herbs and freeze or use them in sweet or savory bread-based puddings.
- Vegetables: at the end of each week, check the leftover vegetables in the fridge and make a spring salad or tortilla with a bit of everything.
Certain recipes, especially those containing meat and sauce, usually gain consistency, flavor 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. As we cook, we gradually become accustomed to the aromas and flavors of the dish, however, the next day our sense of smell becomes more acute again. This is why we can perceive subtle nuances of taste after time.
