Fadalat Min Fadalat

I have been on a leftovers kick since last week's article on the Culture of Leftovers. Tonight's was double leftovers - recycling food that was already recycled once before.

This Bolivian soup I made Saturday was really good (read Best of South American Cooking). It was recycled again on Sunday (read South American Cooking, Again). I just could not face it as a soup again tonight. I heated it, added a cup of couscous and there you have it, spinach-chickpeas couscous.


Sauce from Sunday's lamb shank was turned, with a bit of flour, into a real tasty gravy to go with the leftover lamb shank.


A cucumber that has been appearing on the dining room table all week became boring. So chopped was its fate, added to yoghurt and dried mint to end up as a great accompaniment to the couscous.



Those vegetable roots' sticks have been sprinkling on the Bolivian soup both Saturday and Sunday. Time to get rid of them, but for fun, grilled pita was added to the mix.


The Result was an amazing Fadalat Min Fadalat (Arabic for Leftovers from Leftovers) dinner.

looks so tasty. I love how leftovers combine into interesting "food collages" We just had grilled provolone cheese and mushrooms on toast with a little mayo. Bon appetit!
