Eating leftover grub for days on end can quickly become tedious, so it’s important to spice things up and make the most of the ingredients.
A prime example is when you’re left with trays upon trays of meats, vegetables and everything in between from that annual Christmas Day feast.
The majority of the time you’re left picking away at the individual ingredients from Boxing Day onwards, but what if there was a way you could combine them all into one tasty dish?
Well Lisa Kelbie, owner of Aberdeen’s Bistro Verde and Prep My Diet, a local food delivery service, has the perfect treat for you.
The business owner has put together a recipe that is not only straightforward, quick and hassle-free to make using your Christmas dinner leftovers, but also tastes delicious.
What’s also great about the recipe is that it’s flexible, so you can add more ingredients (such as carrots, peas and stuffing) should you wish to.
