Generally by the end of the week, I have little containers of leftovers in the fridge. Can't think of throwing them, yet can't bring them to the table in their current avatars. The casserole is my failsafe method of infusing new life into these leftovers.
The building blocks are simple.
1. The main carb... Rice or pasta or bread
2. Protein... Sometimes meat, fish or egg. Sometimes I go vegetarian and use lentils (dals) or cottage cheese (paneer)
3. Veggies... In leafy, grated, chopped, sliced or pureed form
4. Sauce... Red or white or some combination
5. Topping... Have used mashed or sliced potato, bread slices, bread crumbs, beaten egg, cheese, milk with one of these...
Here are the ingredients of today's leftover rice casserole. Layer the following in a glass baking dish and pop into the microwave or oven for about 10 min till the top is cheesy and bubbly.
1. Leftover rice
2. Cottage cheese crumbled
3. Corned beef lightly sauteed
4. Marinara sauce. Which is basically home made sauce of roasted tomatoes, garlic and bail
5. Topping of beaten egg and grated Parmesan cheese
Enjoy!
