Quick Leftovers Curry - The perfect recipe for using up any leftover vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Quick<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How many times do you have leftover vegetables? If you are anything like me, then that is pretty much every day. I always tend to cook more than I need, but for a good reason. Firstly vegetables (except starchy) are a vegetables and secondly, those leftovers can always come in handy for combining with something else to make a quick and delicious meal the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I am going grocery shopping and have some vegetables that need to be used up to make way for the new. I will often chop it all up, spread it out on a large baking sheet, season, spray with some cooking oil spray and roast until softened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday for dinner, I roasted some butternut squash, peppers, onion, and zucchini and it was plenty enough to make sure I had leftovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, with any leftover veg like this, I will just heat up and serve with something new to ensure I get some vegetables on my plate. But today I really fancied a curry, so the obvious choice was to use those leftovers to make a Quick Leftovers Curry and it was delicious served with some rice, while I sat outside in the garden, watching the kids swim in the pool. They had already requested burgers on the BBQ for their tea once they were done swimming, so this was a perfect quick meal for one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the curry sauce, I used just a basic medium curry powder and made my base for the sauce, usually onions, ginger, garlic and a  little stock and then blended until smooth and stirred in the leftover veg. Perfect and ready in less than 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
