Any vegetables and meat can be added to some fried onion, tinned tomatoes and curry powder to make a curry OR using the onions and tomatoes add some slow chillies to make a chilli.
Sausages can also be added to some tinned tomatoes and fried onions with a sprig of chopped basil to make a great pasta sauce.
Lots of different types of leftovers such as potatoes, mushrooms, ham, bacon, cheese etc can be used to make an omelette – never be afraid to experiment it’s amazing what you’ll discover goes well together!!
If you have vegetables in the fridge and they are in danger of nearing their use by date, you can always do as described above, cooking them and make a curry or chilli. Alternatively cook them add some vegetable stock and blend them into a soup and if you don’t want to eat it straight away freeze it. It makes great lunches to take to work if you have a microwave handy - instead of buying sandwiches.
