Any ideas for left over veg?

Any ideas to use up a big dish of cooked veg left over from xmas day (sprouts, carrots and peas) - other than bubble and squeak? Thought about soup but didn't really fancy sprouts in soup. Any suggestions very welcome - otherwise will need to feed them to the chooks (which I don't really have a big problem with but would like to try something for us first.)

    I personally don't do anything with left over sprouts other than throw them away. Not very OS I know, but it would ruin anything they went in.

    You could always make a white sauce and cover the veg in that.

    Or, grate some cheese on top of them, along with a crushed bag of crisps sprinkled over the veg and reheat under the grill.

    I'm going to make a vegetable lasagne with my leftover roasted veg later on :)

    In a dish cold, yummy! Freeze the rest to do a quick/easy dinner another day.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Veggie burgers? Basically bubble & squeak, shaped and bound with half a beaten egg, coat with rest of egg and some breadcrumbs and shallow fry.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    Exactly

    Fry an onion (or leek) and some garlic, lob all the left over veggies in, sweat them for a little while. Add stock, and blitz with a hand processor. Superb easy tasty cheap soup.
