Discover creative and practical ways to use up leftover vegetables, transforming them into delicious meals like bubble and squeak or hearty soups. This guide offers simple Knorr-enhanced recipes and tips to reduce food waste and inspire your next meal.

Don't let those leftover vegetables go to waste! Knorr is here to help you transform them into delicious, flavourful meals with ease. Whether you have cooked or uncooked veggies, there are countless ways to give them a new lease of life.

• Bubble and Squeak Delight: A classic for a reason, bubble and squeak is perfect for using up leftover mashed potatoes and cooked vegetables like cabbage, sprouts, or carrots. Simply mix your mash and veggies in a bowl, stir in some Knorr Reduced Salt Vegetable Granules for an extra flavour boost, add chopped spring onions and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and form the mixture into mounds, frying for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Serve hot for a comforting and satisfying dish.
• Spicy Chorizo & Egg Hash: For a more adventurous breakfast or brunch, try this spicy hash. Soften chopped onion and garlic in an oven-proof frying pan with a little oil. Add diced chorizo and cook for 2-3 minutes. Toss in your leftover potatoes, sprinkle with Knorr Reduced Salt Vegetable Granules, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley, crack in a couple of eggs, and bake for a few minutes until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny. A truly delicious way to start the day!
• Hearty Leftover Vegetable Soup: Soup is one of the best ways to use up a variety of leftover vegetables. If your vegetables are uncooked, start by gently cooking chopped onions and garlic in a large pan with a dash of olive oil for a couple of minutes. Add your remaining chopped vegetables and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Pour in boiling water and a Knorr Vegetable Stock Pot, bring to a boil, and simmer for 20 minutes. For added texture, try adding small pasta, herbs, and freshly ground black pepper. To spice things up, add slices of red chilli with the onions, and a few extra slices along with fresh coriander after blending for a flavourful kick.
• Garnish Ideas: Elevate your leftover creations with delightful garnishes such as crispy pan-fried croutons, snipped chives, a swirl of cream, crumbled blue cheese, or crisp bacon bits.
