What to do with Pork Leftovers?
We’ve all been there. Sometimes, you overestimate how hungry your guests are going to be. Others, you make a little bit of extra food in the hopes of tiding you over for the week. Either way, sometimes, leftovers happen. Today, we’re going to answer an age-old question: What should you do with pork leftovers?
How do I store it?
Any kind of leftover pork can either be put in the refrigerator or frozen. When storing, be sure to keep it in an airtight container or Ziploc bag and take all meat off the bone.
How long can I keep it?
Before you can do anything else, you’ll need to know how long it’s safe to eat your leftovers after cooking. According to Health Canada’s website, cooked pork keeps anywhere from 3-4 days in the refrigerator, to 2-3 months in the freezer. So, if you’re not planning on eating those leftovers right away, be sure to freeze them!
So, what can I do with leftover pork?
Whether it’s ham, bacon, or anything else, the possibilities are endless! Here are just a few of our favourite ideas:
- Soup Stock – If any of your meat had bones in it, make sure they don’t go to waste. While not as widely used as, chicken or beef broth it’s equally as delicious.
- Chef’s Salad – Filling, classic, and best of all, no reheating required! We recommend this traditional Chef’s Salad recipe.
- Fried Rice – Cut your leftover roasted pork into a fine dice to add flavour to this delicious dish.
- Cuban Sandwich – Try this delicious take on a ham and cheese sandwich.
