Now that Hannukah is officially over, it is time to deal with all the holiday leftovers. As I peer into my refrigerator I see half a brisket, some potatoes, stewed carrots, sweet potatoes and countless sweets wrapped in cling film. Since I am sick of cooking, I want to do as little cooking as possible over the next several weeks. Fortunately, with a crock pot and a few plates of leftovers, I will have a great dinner that can be served for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow.
Leftover Brisket Stew
Ingredients
Directions
Turn on your crockpot.
Cut up brisket and left over veggies into bite sized pieces and place in the crockpot.
Add in left over gravy and a can of beef broth. Stir to incorporate.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and allow to heat through.
Serve as stew night number one, add noodles and a little extra water or broth on the second day and serve as beef noodle soup.
Being resourceful with the ingredients that you have is what makes home cooking affordable. For other ideas on how to use the leftovers from your Hannukah Jewish recipes look for traditional Jewish recipes or easy Jewish recipes. Keep in mind that you may need to alter these recipes to take advantage of your selection of leftover ingredients. I’ll see you next week to talk about New Year’s Eve cooking!
