Let’s face it, sometimes there’s a tendency to order delicious Nigerian food more than you actually need from Nourisha or life gets busy and those leftovers languish in the fridge. But before you toss them in the trash, how about tapping into your inner culinary superpower and discovering creative ways to repurpose those seemingly forgotten gems? Not only will you reduce food waste and save money, but you’ll also create exciting new dishes that burst with flavour.
1. Breakfast Remix
Nourisha’s meals aren’t just for dinner! You can transform leftover chicken into a vibrant breakfast with fluffy scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of lettuce, coupled with a few slices of toast. Or, whip up a spicy breakfast wrap by warming leftover Jollof Rice, adding scrambled eggs, a drizzle of your favourite hot sauce, and finishing with a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
2. Soup-er Transformation
Your breakfast routine doesn’t have to be boring, breathe new life into leftover stews and broths by turning them into heartwarming soups. Simply add chopped vegetables, noodles, or rice for a filling and nutritious meal.
3. Wrap it Up
Leftover sauce, plantain, and protein are the perfect foundation for flavorful wraps. Get some flat bread and layer on your Nourisha leftovers, add fresh greens, cheese, ketchup, and any other toppings you fancy. Roll it up, slice it in half, and enjoy a delicious and portable lunch or snack.
4. Pizza Brunch
Leftover flatbreads or rotis become the perfect base for a quick and easy pizza snack. Spread on some leftover tomato sauce, top with chopped Nourisha protein and vegetables, and sprinkle on cheese. Pop it in the oven for a few minutes and boom! A fun and satisfying meal for the day.
5. Get Creative with Salads
Lettuce isn’t just for Salads! Chop up leftover Nourisha dishes like chicken, or even and use them as salad toppers. Add a variety of fresh lettuce, sliced boiled eggs, sweet corn, canned beans and there you have it, a refreshing meal to elevate your day.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. So next time you have Nourisha leftovers, remember, they’re not just leftovers – they’re an opportunity to express your creativity and explore new culinary experiences.
