I remember watching this cooking show on TV once and seeing
this lady being asked what she and her family eats during the week. She named some dishes, but there was one thing
that kept being repeated: leftovers.
I honestly believe that, sometimes, we waste our food way
too easily, creating waste and, at the same time, emptying our wallets. So this
is why (maybe not often enough) we make a couple of easy, super fast dishes,
that make most of leftover cooked foods or leftover ingredients. In our last
post we cooked some haddock and had a couple pieces of fish left. One of the
things we love to make when dealing with leftovers is salads, so we’re going to
show you how we saved a couple of on the verge of being thrown away
ingredients.
We used:
- about 200 grams of haddock fillets,
- 1 ripe avocado,
- a salad mix (of your choice, or you can just use the leaves that you have in your fridge as long as they are eatable fresh),
- the juice of 1 lemon,
- olive oil,
- chives,
- rosemary,
- 1 garlic clove,
- salt, pepper.
Heat up some olive oil and throw a rosemary twig in there.
Cook the fillets until they can be easily broken into flakes. Arrange the
salad mix in a plate (we had iceberg,
red cabbage and carrots mix) and flake the fish on top. Finely slice a garlic
clove and do the same to the avocado, add to the salad and fish. Pour the lemon
juice and a good splash of olive oil, salt and pepper. Garnish with some
chopped chives. And, the most important part of the recipe, open up a chilled
bottle of Prosecco, pour yourself a glass and enjoy your leftovers. Because,
sometimes, these can truly be the star of a meal.
Enjoy,
