How many time has finding yourself with some roasted chicken leftovers that no one wants to eat happened to you?
Once I made those meatballs and since then my kids keep asking me to make them again and again.
Just put boneless chicken, dried apricots, walnuts and parmesan cheese in the food processor. With wet hands, form the meatballs and then either bake them in the oven or fry on the pan.
The meatballs are so tasty, eaten warm or cold. Serve them with salad, or add some rice as a side dish if you prefer. Then if there are going to be a few left ( which never happens in my family ) just make a nice sandwich. I like them the best with just lettuce salad, but you can find your own way of serving it.
So, no eggs, no flour, just 4 ingredients and you will have a completely new dish on the table. And most importantly no food waste. Have a wonderful lunch.
In our house there are always some small pieces of bread left that nobody wants to eat. As Iām really against food waist, I have my own way of reusing it.
Simply cut it into on small cubes and freeze in a bag. I keep filling the same bag with different kinds of bred.
So, whenever I need croutons, I just grab some frozen bread cubes, put them on some butter or olive oil, add seasoning (rosemary & sea salt are my favourite) and fry until golden. And in 5 minutes I have lovely, fresh and crunchy croutons to be added in the soup or on top of a salad.
Gnocchi leftovers – boiled the day before. Well, it sometimes happens that I boil too much gnocchi. I then pan fry some of them on butter to get a golden colour. I keep the rest in the fridge until I find use for them. You can then add to your gnocchi whatever you have in the fridge ( fruits, vegetables, cheese…) and make a whole new meal. It’s even better if you have some gravy, but if not, the butter will do.Ā
Today I grilled some pineapple cubes on butter, seasoned them and added them to the gnocchi leftovers from the fridge. It turned up being really nice. I gave it to my son as a side dish to a burger and young peas.
