When Christmas Day lunch is over, the real food party can start. With the bulk of the work already done – potatoes roasted, sprouts boiled – it’s all about giving your leftovers a new life. We’ve broken the advice of some of our favourite cooks down into ingredient-led sections, but remember: with leftovers, there are no rules. You can make virtually all of these things with whatever you have and enjoy the happy accidents which follow. Merry Twixtmas!
Roast potatoes
Bubble and squeak might already be a part of your leftover game plan, but it is a classic for a reason. “Where can you take it, though?” asks Neil Campbell, head chef at Rovi in London. “Try treating it like a fishcake and breadcrumb the outside, or turn it into more of a croquette.”
