Once again this year you have provided ten times too much food. Result, after holidays , the idea of having to eat the same thing for a whole week or throwing the leftovers in the trash does not appeal to you. Good news, you can incorporate all this into new recipes to vary the pleasures .
Foie gras on toast as an aperitif at Christmas or as a starter on beautiful pieces of country bread at New Year , you like it but you're a little disgusted. And why not concoct a good sauce or incorporate your leftover foie gras into a gratin?
If you have any champagne left; we doubt it but you never know, you can use your bottom of the bottle to make a sabayon or to wash down a risotto as an alternative to white wine.
And for aperitif cakes , reduced to powder, they will serve as breadcrumbs.
With the capon or the turkey , ideas abound:meatballs, meatloaf, hash or puff pastry , you can pretty much recycle them in any savory recipe.
And what about the vegetables abandoned in the bottom of the dish? Soups of course! This is an opportunity to also add the chestnuts which surrounded the capon but which did not have the same success as the latter… And if you prefer to eat solid, opt for savory tarts .
Don't forget the dessert, even the log recycle! If you thought a little big when making the sponge cake for your homemade log, a pudding very greedy and comforting will be perfect. Did you rather go with a commercially purchased log? No worries, dip it in coffee and make a good tiramisu .
The overflow of chocolates can easily be used in the making of new desserts or to warm you up with a good hot chocolate.
Finally, with everything you had planned, you have several baguettes left on your arms... For the leftovers of bread , start making a pizza dough home or in a French toast for sweeter beaks.
And if you haven't managed to use up all your leftovers with these recipes, don't hesitate to freeze your food , but be careful, never refreeze food that has been thawed!
