Ever had a meal that was nice the first time, but you just didn't feel like having it again for a while? I felt this way about my left over can of spicy red capsicum, tomatoe and brown rice. It was a
warm, heavy dish the first time round, and after it sat in the fridge for a few days, I knew it was going to end up wasted if I didn't do something to make it appealing again.
It needed a
new edge, so I sauteed a whack of garlic in butter, then added the leftovers...
Now I needed something to
lighten and freshen the dish overall, and give it a new colour. After ladling the 'soup' into my serving bowl, I laid a bed of fresh, grated beetroot on top, then a few heaped teaspoons of Matakana Market's beetroot and orange chutney in the middle, then some good thick curls of fresh red onion (Mangawhai garage sell these). The result was very palatable.
