🌍LOVE YOUR LEFTOVERS! ♻️Today is International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, a brilliant reminder that some of the best meals can start with the food we already have.So, before you throw something away, ask: “Could I cook it another way?”🍚Leftover rice → fried rice
Fry with vegetables, egg and a splash of soy sauce.🍞Stale bread → croutons
Cube, season and bake, great for soups and salads.🥕Tired looking vegetables → soup
Blend with stock, herbs and a tin of beans or lentils.A sweet potato that’s looking a little tired? An onion in the cupboard? A tin of chickpeas waiting to be used?Turn them into our Sweet Potato & Chickpea Curry, a simple, affordable and delicious meal that’s easy to adapt to what you already have at home.👉 Try the recipe: https://www.thefriendlyfoodclub.org/recipes/61/sweet-potato-and-chickpea-curry 💡Fridge Rescue Challenge: Look in your fridge, freezer and cupboards today and find one ingredient you can rescue rather than waste.Small changes in our kitchens can make a big difference!What do you do to help reduce food waste?
