Sautéed Cabbage and Onions

I had half a head of savoy cabbage leftover from making the Stuffed Cabbage Rolls. Leftover cabbage makes a great side dish. Cabbage sautéed this way is quite delicious.

2 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
Half of a medium onion, sliced thin
1 clove garlic, minced
4 cups shredded savoy cabbage
½ teaspoon paprika
Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic to the pan.

Sauté until the cabbage is soft and somewhat creamy, stirring often while it cooks.

Add the paprika, salt and pepper. Toss to mix all ingredients together and coat the cabbage with seasonings. Serve.

Broccoli in Cheese Sauce

I had half a head of broccoli and about 1 cup of the cheese sauce left over from the Chicken Divan recipe. The recipe made a generous amount of sauce and I only uses half of the broccoli when I made that dish.

2 serving

Ingredients

Half a head of broccoli florets
1 cup leftover cheese sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Place the broccoli into a medium pot with salted water to cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 5–6 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.

Pour the cheese sauce into the empty pot and heat on low. Add the drained broccoli and toss to coat, Serve when the broccoli is hot.

Texas Chili Stuffed Burritos

Instead of reheating the Texas Chili, I decide to use some of it in burritos for our dinner. The original recipe made quite a lot, so there was plenty leftover for the burritos.

2 servings

Ingredients

1 cup of leftover Texas Chili
½ cup cooked black beans
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 flour tortillas

Directions

Heat the chili and beans together. Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Arrange half of the chili mixture in the middle of the tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup cheese.

Fold two sides of the burrito in, then fold the remaining two sides over to form a small packet. Please seam-side down on a plate.

Repeat with the remaining tortilla and filling. Place on a microwave plate and heat until warm. Serve with Guacamole and Sour Cream.
