Use it up! Don't throw it in the bin!

I have a bag of watercress spinach and rocket, past its best, any ideas on how to use this up? I was thinking about soup but would it be worth it for this little amount?

i'd do soup, fry off an onion in some butter or oil, put in the leaves and water boil it up with a potato or two (peeled and cube), after ten minutes or when all tender whizz in the liquidiser or with a wand whizzer(can't recall their proper name now).

I have about 1lb gammon joint (sliced) left over from Christmas. I put it in the freezer but want to make a meal (not soup) for the famly - 2 adults and 3 children aged 2 (x2) and 7

I was thinking of a risotto

Any suggestions as to how I'd go about it?

Gently fry an onion, some celery and some garlic until translucent, in some butter. Add the risotto rice and chopped gammon and coat in butter. Add hot stock a ladle at a time, until no more can be absorbed. Add a load of parmesan, season to taste, and add more butter if you like Serve with more parmesan.

We had the most random meal ever last night - all made from leftovers. It was:
roast beef
gravy
tinned tomatoes
baked beans
bacon
sausage
onions
glug of red wine

All put into the slow cooker for about 4 hours and served with potato wedges.

It was absolutely lush!! Mmmmmmmmmmm
