5 Ways to Transform Your Leftovers

Leftovers don’t have to be boring or predictable! With a little creativity, you can turn yesterday’s meal into something fresh and delicious. Here are five easy ways to transform your leftovers.

From roast to potjie

Got leftover roast or braaied meat from the weekend? Dice it up and throw it into a pot with any vegetables of your choice, and some spices for a quick and easy potjie-style stew. Let it simmer, and you’ll have a comforting meal that feels homemade and is full of flavour.

Who doesn’t love pizza?

Have some leftover roasted veggies? Pile them onto pizza dough or flatbreads, add a sprinkle of cheese and bake for a quick and tasty veggie pizza. Whether it’s peppers, mushrooms or roasted butternut, those veggies will shine on top of a crispy base, and you’ll have a fun, fresh take on dinner.

Wrap it up

Almost any leftovers can be repurposed into a wrap. Leftover chicken, steak or veggies can be rolled into a tortilla with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, a bit of sauce and maybe some avo for a quick, delicious lunch. Wraps are quick, convenient, and perfect for using up odds and ends in the fridge.

Fried rice revamp

Leftover rice is perfect for a quick, fried rice dish. Toss in leftover meat, veggies and scrambled eggs, then season with soy sauce and sesame oil. This one-pan meal is fast, easy and full of flavour, making it a great midweek solution that comes together in minutes.

Smoothie surprise

If you’ve got ripe or leftover fruit, simply blend them with some yoghurt or juice for a healthy, refreshing treat. Add oats or nuts to give your smoothie some texture and extra fibre. This is a great way to repurpose fruit and get some nutrients in for the whole family.
