Leftover Pork

mudgekin

One of the things that I sometimes do with leftover pork is make a biriani with it just for a change as I find I get fed up making chinese style things with pork. Works just as well with leftover chicken

Hi Charlotte,

There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas on using up pork so I've added your thread to it to keep the replies together.

Thanks for the merge Penny & Pink, some really nice ideas on there. I did do a search but couldn`t find anything, I obviously wasn`t using the right phrase.

i've got a huge amount of roasted meats left, beef, gammon and pork. i bought so much as we were plannong on having family over then my kids were i;ll so that was cancelled, and xmas day not much got eaten. ( well not as much as i thought , kinda over extimated, whoops)

so i don't wanna waste anything. not sure what i can do with cold roast pork ( don't know if i can reheat or not so would be happy to use this first , hubby suggested i did another roast with cold meats as the roast which sounds great, but still will have loads. can i make it into things and freeze don't like idea of freezing beef in gravy or anything not sure why i just don't. could i make stuffing and then serve hot stuffing and pork in a sandwich sorry i sound vauge but i've never had this much meat over before and i'm bamboozelled. But i will not waste it ( can't afford to)

Yes you can reheat it once with no problem.

I would freeze it as a lump and then take it out to defrost and reheat it in some gravy when you need it.

You can plate up a meal's worth of meat, cover it in gravy to stop it drying out and then re-heat when needed. When the family were at home I used to do this. I bought the largest joint I could afford as I thought that the larger the joint the less shrinkage in cooking. It saved the remains disappearing by snacking snacking and gave me a ready meal - or three!

Hi jcr16,

I hope you're feeling better now. Yes you can reheat roast pork once after cooking. It freezes well too. There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas for using it up so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

These threads may give you ideas for the other meats:
