After the surplus that’s Christmas dinner, two issues are inevitable: a nap, and leftovers.
In the event you can’t bear the concept of repeating your precise festive lunch for days afterwards, it’s effectively price utilizing them up in new methods to maintain issues fascinating – and minimise any potential meals waste.
However the place to start out? From festive sausage rolls to beneficiant pies, these are three nifty methods to actually make your leftovers sing after December 25…
1. Roast dinner sausage rolls
Elements:(Makes 16)
2tbsp olive oil1 onion, finely chopped1 plump garlic clove, finely chopped1tsp dried blended herbs450g leftover cooked meat and/or vegetables2tsp chipotle paste or different chilli paste2tsp crème fraîche, cream or milk (if wanted)40g chilly butter1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry, about 35 x 23cm or roughly 330g from a block1 egg, frivolously beaten1⁄2tsp nigella seedsFine sea salt and freshly floor black pepper
Methodology:
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/425°F/Fuel mark 7 and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a big frying pan and gently fry the onion with a pinch of salt over a medium warmth till tender and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and blended herbs and fry for a pair extra minutes. Switch to a big mixing bowl and go away to chill to room temperature.

4. Switch the leftovers to the bowl with the onions and add the chipotle paste and crème fraîche. Grate within the butter. Combine effectively.
5. Lay the pastry sheet on a frivolously floured work floor with a brief facet closest to you. Fold the highest edge down to fulfill the decrease edge and frivolously press to make a crease alongside the centre. Unfold and lower alongside the crease to make two smaller rectangles.
6. Fold every of the small rectangles in half alongside the quick facet. Unfold and lower alongside the crease to make 4 rectangles 9 x 23cm. Place 1 / 4 of the filling alongside an extended facet of every pastry rectangle. Squeeze the filling as you go so it holds collectively. Brush the going through lengthy edge with egg, then firmly roll right into a log. Press to seal firmly. Repeat with the remaining filling and pastry.

2. Ham and celeriac rémoulade sandwich
Elements:(Makes 1 sandwich)
2 good, thick slices of excellent white breadLashings of butterHeap of cooked ham, lower skinny, or thick if that’s what you like (I prefer it skinny)2 heaped tbsp celeriac rémoulade (see under)1tsp mayo1tbsp very finely chopped flat leaf parsley or chives (no matter you like) (you would possibly want extra herbs; be ready)
For the celeriac rémoulade (makes sufficient for 4-6 individuals):
Juice of 1⁄2 lemon1tbsp wholegrain mustard1tbsp Dijon mustard100g mayonnaise (I like Hellmann’s) or homemade1tbsp further virgin olive oil1tbsp pink wine vinegar1⁄2tsp salt10-12 grinds of black pepper1 small celeriac (celery root), high and messy backside lower off, peeled (however don’t do any of this till you’ve made the sauce)
Methodology:
1. Make the celeriac rémoulade: Put all of the components aside from the celeriac right into a bowl and whisk them collectively. Style it. Good, huh?! Now julienne the celeriac with that particular peeler you’ve purchased and blend the slithers into the sauce as you go, being cautious to not julienne your self. On the finish, combine effectively – I like to make use of my palms for this one in order that I can gently squish the whole lot collectively. As soon as blended, go away for no less than one hour, or ideally a couple of hours, for the flavour to develop and the celeriac to melt. My fried Owen, I consider, salts his celeriac slivers earlier than placing the whole lot collectively. I by no means hassle! This’ll hold for 3 days within the fridge.
2. Make the sandwich: Butter the underside of your bread with a heavy hand and pile on the ham in a pleasant even layer.
3. Pile on the rémoulade. Lid on, little bit of a squish, trim the crusts off and lower the sarnie in half with a serrated knife, backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards, being cautious to not squidge the bread. Unfold all around the open, now crustless edges of the sandwich with mayo. Sprinkle the chopped parsley onto somewhat plate or one thing and dunk the mayo’d edges into it. Sit down, ft up, TV on, get pleasure from your self. Have a glass of wine, or two; it’s Boxing Day.

3. Leftover Christmas pie

For the glaze:
4tbsp maple syrup4tbsp non-dairy milk4tbsp vegetable oil
Methodology:
1. Warmth the oil or water in a big saucepan positioned over a medium warmth. When sizzling, add the leeks and garlic and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes till tender. Add the sweetcorn and vegan roast (or veg), stir with a picket spoon, and prepare dinner for an extra three minutes. A bit of caramelisation on the turkey will add an ideal flavour. Add the seasoning, then pour within the wine or inventory, scraping any bits off the underside to deglaze the pan. Prepare dinner for an extra three minutes.
2. Stir within the cream and miso paste and simmer gently for quarter-hour – don’t let it boil. After quarter-hour, it must be good and creamy. Examine the seasoning, and add extra if wanted. Scrape the filling right into a 23-centimetre pie dish and go away it to chill for round 25 minutes.
3. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 180°C. Evenly flour a clear work floor and roll out your pastry to round four-millimetres thick and vast sufficient to suit over your pie dish.
4. Fastidiously switch the pastry and lay it over the filling, gently urgent across the edges of the pie dish to seal and trim off any overhanging pastry. Pinch the pastry across the fringe of the pie dish to create a fluted edge. Get artistic with the pastry trimmings – roll out once more and lower into festive shapes or letters to embellish your pie, brushing with milk.
5. Combine the glaze components collectively in a small bowl, then brush the glaze over the pie high and ornament. Bake on the decrease shelf of the preheated oven for half-hour till the pastry is gorgeous and golden. I wish to brush over somewhat extra glaze simply earlier than serving.
