Delicious tomato ginger curry to reframe last night’s roasted chicken. One of the yummy #secretsofgreatsecond recipes I’ll demo @hotstovesociety on Mar 27, link in bio.
Excellent batch of potatoes last night; Greek style cooked with broth, oregano and some lemon zest.
Look at this beautiful @sarahflotard image from #secretsofgreatsecondmeals. It’s a saffron rice pudding made from an extra portion of rice, and it’s one of the recipes I will demo at my Mar 27 cooking class @hotstovesociety. I’d be thrilled to have you join me there! Link in bio.
Leftovers hack! Just purée it. I’ve been sick this week so a lot of unattended things left in the fridge including a good bit of braised fennel. Heated it up in chicken broth then whizzed until silky smooth. Topped with croutons that I toasted with everything spice (!) and some oily Calabrian 🌶 to offset the beige. So creamy and delicious and helping me coax my appetite back. I’ll be feeling better in a couple of weeks when i share more #secretsofgreatsecondmeals tips @hotstovesociety March 27. Link in bio.
Pretty little fennel braise with a monogram. #secretsofgreatsecondmeals
I had a great time making rice waffles from #secretsofgreatsecondmeals on @king5newdaynw today! Extra rice has so many stories to tell: rice pudding, congee, fried rice... what do you like to do with it?
Oven braised my (unsoaked) beans yesterday—3 1/2 hours and left to cool in their liquid (making soup with that today). They came out luscious. Definitely a method for well sourced, thinner skinned beans thanks @rancho_gordo. I also cook beans from soaked when i have remembered and do quickie beans in the instant pot (though those have a tendency to be mushier). And there are always cans around too. No matter the method, beans are a staple around here and many different recipes to use them up in #secretsofgreatsecondmeals. I’ll be talking all sorts of leftovers @booklarder on Wednesday night!

Leftover hack! A little #gremolata on a quick soup made from extra chicken and broth and a can of beans. Gremolata is finely chopped raw garlic, parsley and lemon. It hits the hot broth and wakes it up with fresh aromas and a little bit of bite. Come learn more about my new book and the virtuous path of leftovers at a free book larder event Feb 27.

Leftover hack—just make soup! threw some extra handfuls of spinach and the last of a bag of arugula into hot chicken stock (with some leeks) puréed into green deliciousness and swirled with the last ladle of leftover parsnip soup. Lots of lemon too. On the side toast with ricotta and lemon zest. .... .... ... .... #secretsofgreatsecondmeals #newcookbook #leftovers #zerowaste
