I'm making some curried chicken croquettes (from the RC cookbook) this afternoon.
My other favourite is this:
Armenian Lamb Pilaf
Pinch saffron, steeped in 2tbsp boiling water
350g aubergine cut into smallish cubes
300g leftover shoulder of lamb cut into bits
olive oil
200g onions, peeled and chopped
2 mild green chillies, deseeded and chopped
tin of chopped toms
2tsp ground cumin
1tsp garam masala
225g basmati rice, washed and drained
350ml stock
3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
50g pine nuts
50g sultanas
bunch of coriander, chopped
Fry the onions gently until soft and golden, then add the chillies and tomatoes. Cover and cook gently for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180C
Fry the aubergine gently, with the cumin and garam masala until soft.
Add to the tomato sauce, along with the lamb and the rice. Mix well over a low heat. Add stock and saffron, plus a bit of salt (or not if your stock is salty). Add garlic, pine nuts and sultanas. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for ten minutes. Take lid off, poke it all around with a fork, and stir in the coriander.

Shamelessly nicked from Simon Hopkinson. And then adapted a bit.

I tend to make some jacket potatos half 'em scoop them out and then stick my leftovers at the bottom, put the tater back in, top with cheese and retuern to theoven until golden and crispy. works well with a remarkable variety of stuff.

For left over roast meat either fried rice or jambalya can be good

Leftovers? The only leftovers we have is what the children have left on their plate and I feel awfully courageous putting it on the compost.
