There’s nothing more satisfying than repurposing leftovers and getting not just another complete meal out of them, but also something with completely different flavours and presentation. If there’s not quite enough meat to go around the addition of any legumes, whether it be cooked chickpeas, lentils or beans ups the protein of the meal along with increasing the fibre.
