Background
This recipe is perfect for using up leftovers of your Christmas meal. If you don’t have any leftover carrots and sprouts, add them row at the beginning of the recipe, with the red pepper. Feel free to add other leftovers, such as green beans, leek, cabbage and so on. For a spicier version add some chilli flakes. Serve this leftover roasted turkey stew with rice or pasta.
Ingredients
- 1 raw onion or 2 roasted onion
- 1 red pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 sprig of rosemary or 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 celery stalk
- About 5 leftover pigs in blankets or 75g cooking chorizo
- 1 tsp ground cumin

Instructions

- Heat a little oil in a big saucepan and sauté the onion, chorizo (if used) and any raw vegetables for about 5 minutes.
- Add the herbs, garlic, the pigs in blanket (chopped) and any leftover roasted/cooked vegetables. Add the cumin and stir for a few seconds. Add the tomato purée and stir again.
