Quick suggestions for demanding nights
- Keep some staples at hand. Pre -cooked rice, frozen vegetables and grated cheese can transform one of these into a complete meal.
- Double when you can. Recipes such as cursors and frying warm up well and use them for lunch the next day.
- Choose your shortcuts. Use pre-maker vegetables or salad salads kits to reduce preparation times.
- Start with what you have. Most of these recipes are flexible, it is possible to easily exchange proteins or vegetables if necessary.
How to keep and use leftovers
Most of these recipes are excellent leftovers and some also have a better flavor the next day.
- In the Fridge: Keep in an airtight container for a maximum of 3-4 days.
- In the freezer: For a longer conservation, freeze in individual portions and heat if necessary.
- Tips for heating: Add a splash of broth, sauce or water to prevent things from drying out. Microwave, hob or air fryer all work depending on the recipe.
Easy bonus: The cursors, the pause dishes and the pasta warm up particularly well for the lunches of the following day.
