Leftovers! Creative repurposing - your best and favorites?

Have you ever been to Antique Garage? I had a nice brunch at the Tribeca location in Dec 2018. Really liked their version of Manti. It’s a completely different vibe than some of the cozy, modest Turkish restaurants I tried on the Upper East Side.

Sounds familiar, but not in a very long time if I have.

Manti looks good.

I see Chicken Adana on the menu too :face_with_monocle: :yum:, though that’s pretty much a given around here.

As posted in WFD, I repurposed kebabs and pilafi into a kind of stirfry. I do this kind of thing a lot.

Do you add the meat at the end?

When I made the pasta yesterday, I wanted to have the spices coat the lamb but not overcook it. Tricky.

I just plopped everything into my big nonstick and heated it up in EVOO until it was sizzling.

Exactly what happens to a lot of leftovers in this house. Makes for an interesting lunch. Usually needs ketchup or brown sauce to liven things up.

My leftovers sometimes breed more leftovers :joy:

Last night’s Turkish pasta with leftover lamb, and garlic yogurt that became even more potent overnight :rofl:

And the rest of the Turkish green beans stewed in tomato sauce / Taze Fasulye I had made to go on the side.

This makes me think of breaking out the cheese to finish a bottle of wine, then opening another bottle of wine to finish the cheese.

Once again tooting the horn of one of my favorite books, where today’s leftover scraps are tomorrow’s delicious meal:
