Good Ol’ Leftovers
Leftovers are never wasted in our household. It’s always eaten up with gratitude especially after a busy day of work or running around. Usually it’s a quick and simple process of reheat and serve.
If you’re however feeling a bit more creative, leftovers can be the basic foundation of an exciting new dish. Here’s one of our quick and simple makeover of some leftovers – Spinach and Rice in Broth
The key ingredient is the delicious leftover sauce from this pasta dish. I usually make sure I’ve at least an extra cup of broth – cooled and frozen till I'm ready to use it.
Next, a key staple in many diets around the world, rice – doesn’t have to be *fancy* like this one. Just make sure you have enough rice for 2-4 servings – the one-cup of broth should be sufficient for 4 average servings. Rice can be either freshly cooked or leftovers.
Lastly, a bunch of greens of your choice – finely chopped.
What to do:
1…Heat saucepan and pour broth in. As soon as broth starts to simmer, stir in rice. Allow to simmer just for a few minutes; longer if you’re using leftover rice – rice should still be firm.
2…Add in finely chopped greens and cook till desired.
3…Salt to taste if necessary. I generally don’t, as there’s enough flavour from the initial dish.
There you go, quick and easy to put together and nutritious too. Enjoy!
