Leftover Pork

Gabriel-Ernest

I'd chop it up into a quick stirfry if he's eating on his own, or reheat it in the microwave if he's having more traditional side dshes..

Thanks for that.

Hmm, never thought of the microwave. OH seems to think it's evil! But then he's not the one doing the cooking.

We'll probably be eating spuds with our dinner, so the normal reheating sounds good. I'm a plastic biddy, stirfry, what's that about!:rotfl:

Meat, spuds and veg all the way!

how about something like a special fried rice... cook the rice, shred the pork, boil some peas, fry an onion and scramble a few eggs then throw it all together and mix into one gorgeous heap of lovelyness yummmm i love meals like that! best eaten with lashings of sweet chilli sauce:D

I'd make some sweet and sour sauce and add it to that with rice.

Mmmm - I think I know what to cook tonight! Cold cooked pork has always gone to waste here, sadly - but that's not very money-saving, or planet saving either.
Thanks!

I like to make rissoles out of leftover meat...can be beef, pork, chicken or turkey - esp. good this time of year.
I got the recipe several years ago from a cost-concious cook book by Maggie Brogan.
PREP Time - 20 mins Cooking Time - 30mins

450g potatoes, peeled and cut into pieces
225g cold cooked meat
1 onion, peeled and grated
1 tablsp Worcestershire sauce
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 size 2 egg, beaten


1. Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water until tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and then mash.

2 Meanwhile, mince or finely chop the meat.

3. Mix the mashed potato, meat, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and egg and bind well.

4 Divide mixture into 4, roll each in flour and press into patties about 1/2" (1cm) thick.

5. Shallow fry for 10-15 minutes on each side.

Great with baked beans or a potato salad and greens.

Hi everyone

I roasted far too much pork yesterday and there's too much left just for sandwiches. I wondered if anyone had any other ways to use it up?

Thanks in advance :-)

I make pasties with left over pork.

Cook a carrot, an onion and a potato. (I normally save some from the roast dinner.)

Mince the meat, mix all the ingredients together with some gravey.
Make pastry, roll out, use a saucer as a template to cut out a circle.
