Three easy meals with leftover slow cooked meat! Yeah!
Ahead of a long day away from home, I sometimes use the convenience of the slow cooker to have dinner ready by the time we come home. Just practical, nothing fancy. Recently, I cooked a pork shoulder into pulled pork and we had quite a bit of leftovers. It can be quite difficult to find ideas to serve the leftovers pork differently. At other times, it may have been lamb or beef. Today, I am sharing three easy meals with leftover cooked meat.
Mushroom & pulled pork risotto.
This is great with any type of pork seasoning you may have used as you can use the risotto stock and type of cheese you use to balance the taste. Here I used the large king brown mushrooms; these mushrooms never made it to the quiche I had in mind at the back of my head when I bought them! Preparation and cooking time: 20-30 minutes or 30-40 if you take your time!

The good old shepherds’ pie (hachis Parmentier, in French).
What a crowd pleaser for all ages. Tasty meat with delicious mashed potatoes? You cannot go wrong. Here you can add tomato sauce, garlic and additional spices if required to balance the flavours or add some vegetables to make it a bit lighter and increase the volume of the lower part of the dish is this is necessary. There are hundreds of ways to go about it.
Preparation and cooking time – 40-50 minutes with a lot of hand free time between steps!

The pulled meat rolls or wraps
I love wraps filled with lamb, a bit of yogurt, some green leaves and fresh chilli! Preparation and cooking time is very low, you only need to reheat the meat throughout and prepare your green leaves, lets say 10-15 minutes maximum!

I hope you enjoy these recipes. While I am finishing writing this post, I have a chocolate banana brownie baking for this week’s lunchboxes.
