This is more or less a rechauffe meal recipe. What is s rechauffe meal you say. You probably already know what it is but not what it's called. I am pretty certain we all create it on a regular basis in our homes

A rechauffe meal is a meal created from left over food usually from the day before into a new and different meal. Call it a revamp.

First time I ever heard that word was in my secondary school home economics class.

So this is basically a tossing together of ingredients to achieve delicious awesomeness ? Cooking is creativity and everyone of us has it in us to do it.

Here are some good reasons to consider rechauffe meals.

1. It saves time
2. It reduces waste
3. There is no hard and fast rule. Be creative.
4. Saves money

Let's get to the kitchen, Shall we ?

Ps: this is better with a day old cold rice from the fridge. Not freshly cooked rice.

Notes

This is a delicious side dish. Being a rechauffe meal, you can throw in pretty much anything you find in your refrigerator. Could be green or red bell peppers etc but be aware that too much extras would mask the garlic butter taste so go easy on the add-ins if this particular recipes is what you desire.

Is it awful that I don't like leftovers? I think you may have solved the problem though! I never thought to make something different out of the meal I already have. You have inspired me!

A few of my favorite rechauffe meals include: big salads with whatever veggie bits I have left-over in the fridge from other meals. Also, stir-fries are great. x
