Pulled chicken & tomato
orzo
Shred the meat from any leftover

stir through some orzo and a little chicken stock. Simmer until the orzo is cooked and has soaked up the
sauce.

leftover five-bean chilli from p38 and mix with brown rice. Microwave until hot, then
wrap in a tortilla along with chilli sauce, some diced avocado and chopped coriander.
5 Cheesy
beef toasties
Mix the shredded barbacoa beef from p76 along with some of its

and some finely sliced red onion. Pile between 2 slices of bread, outer parts buttered, and toast using a toastie maker or by turning in
a frying pan.
6 Barbacoa & black beans
Stir black beans and a little of the brine from the can through any leftover barbacoa beef
(p76), and reheat. Serve with rice or pile on top of some
nachos.
7 Chicken & peanut noodles
Shred the meat off the bone from any leftover peanut butter chicken (p76), then stir back into its sauce. Reheat and stir though cooked egg noodles, squeeze over some lime and scatter with chopped coriander.
8 Ribollitastyle soup with pork
Shred any leftover pork belly back into
the braised beans from the recipe on p76. Pour in enough chicken stock to make a soup, then reheat and simmer with shredded kale, cavalo nero or cabbage until
just wilted. Serve drizzled with olive oil
alongside crusty bread.
9 Tartare potato salad
Use any leftover tartare sauce from p56 to dress boiled potatoes that have been left to cool. Mix with a good squeeze of lemon and a spoonful of mayonnaise,
if you like.
