A Sunday dinner without broth as the main dish? Broth forms the foundation of countless family dinners and never seems to lose appeal. Hence, knowing how to utilize the remnants like cooked meat or vegetables appropriately is crucial. Discover our favourite technique! It's straightforward and natural and will also help you save money on groceries.

Utilizing broth leftovers: A guide

If you still have some broth left, the best way to utilize it is by making homemade broth cubes. These cubes are the base of practically every soup, providing a handy resource for preparing other meals. Wondering how to make them? It's probably simpler than you think.

All you need to do is pour your remaining broth into a pan and heat it over a moderate flame until it reduces significantly and thickens. Once it's cooled, pour it into molds (ice cube trays work well), and then place them in the freezer. Before you know it, they're ready to use!

Repurposing cooked meat and vegetables

If you're looking to repurpose leftovers like cooked meat and vegetables, it's rather straightforward. From such ingredients, you can whip up a delectable sandwich spread (just use the meat if you prefer!). All you need to do is blend them together, add some fresh chives, a tablespoon of mayonnaise, and season with your favorite spices - salt and pepper, for instance.
