After a festive Christmas dinner, there are often leftovers. Don't throw them away, make delicious and surprising dishes with them or freeze them. This way, you prolong the festive season and prevent food waste. Here are four creative ideas:
Roasted vegetable soup
Do you have leftover roasted vegetables? Turn them into a delicious smooth soup. Mash the vegetables, add stock and herbs, and in no time you have a flavourful soup that is as festive as your Christmas dinner.
Christmas quiche
Small scraps of meat, cheese and vegetables are perfect for a savoury quiche. Mix them with eggs and some cream, pour into a pie tin and bake in the oven. This way, you give those leftover ingredients a second life in a delicious meal.
Luxury salad with a twist
Leftover turkey or ham? Combine it with fresh lettuce, nuts, bits of cheese and a dressing of olive oil and lemon. A fresh, crunchy salad that still has just that touch of Christmas.
Bread pudding with fruit
Old bread and leftover Christmas cake can be transformed into a sweet bread pudding. Add milk, eggs, cinnamon and possibly some pieces of fruit. Bake in the oven until golden brown and you have a delicious dessert.
