I am sick of chucking out veggies every couple of weeks because I forget to use them and they go off! I've decided that every Sunday I'll have a clean out of the fridge and use up the veggies I didn't use through the week. So my question is, what do you make with your leftover veggies and what are they usually ?
Thank you |

SOup! I know it's coming in to warmer weather, but it's super easy for lunch and you use up all your leftover veg.

Steam them and add to frittatas..my fave frittata is broccoli and spinach.
Or bake au gratin. Or grate and mix with an egg and some stock powder to make veggie balls to pan fry. Or finely dice and cook with kidney beans, cumin, onion, paprika, tomatoes and you've got a bean filling for tacos. My leftovers are normally broccoli, carrots, capsicums and pumpkin. |

I steam, purée & freeze to add to whatever meal DD is having for lunch/dinner
OR I slow roast and make a vege quiche (with goats cheese or fetta if they are on hand). I always thought quiche was tricky, but with frozen short crust pastry it's easy as! Either that, or I'm discovering that there a lot of meals that I can incorporate grated / finely diced veges into (meatloaf, meatballs, bolognaise, lasagne... off the top of my head). |

I haven't had many leftovers lately as I have tried to stick with a menu plan. If its something that I bought in a bulk pack then I try to include it in quite a few different meals during the week.
I do a stir fry once a week and throw anything in that. We also do either a baked dinner with baked veggies or a meal with baked veggies as a side dish once a week. Or if its like this week where it was better $ to get a big packet of carrots then we will have quite a few snacks of just carrots as well. |

Grate, chop, dice, everything left over and chuck in a frypan and cook it down. Leave to cool then mix with mince for sausage rolls or meatloaf.
Puree cooked veg and freeze to mix through sauces or rissoles or whatever you make at a later date. Today I have fried the mushrooms - around 500g - that I had not used last week, I added an onion and garlic cloves and grated carrot - this mix will be pureed and added to beef and pork mince that will then be wrapped in filo pastry for a savoury strudel. |

Rice is our vegies going off meal, otherwise I make vegie fritters with it as well.
If I am organised I will blanche and freeze them or use them in something I can freeze for later when I have time to do it and think about it. |
