I'm back after a brief hiatus. My mom was visiting for the last three weeks, and I haven't had as much time to blog, but I've still been cooking up a storm. This week I'm dealing with leftovers, and the first recipe is a remix using leftover chicken kebobs, tzatziki sauce, and rustic "Como" bread.
Before Mom arrived, I got myself a panini grill. Turned out to be a good investment- Mom and I enjoyed paninis every day we were home for lunch. Toward the end of the visit, we had chicken kebobs for dinner, and there was enough leftover to make a chicken salad with the leftover tzatziki sauce from the same meal. The recipe can be found by following this link.
All I did was mix the chicken and tzatziki sauce together, make a sandwich, and grill it on the panini press. It was really delicious- tasted very much like a chicken souvlaki. The idea of remixing or "morphing" leftovers came to me from chef Kathleen Daelemans, who had a great show on the Food Network more than ten years ago. It stuck with me, and every time I have leftovers that can be remixed into something else, I try to do it. Do you morph your leftovers into different meals? If so, please share your ideas in toe comments section below.
