I was thinking about my previous post about South Indian Sambar. The reason I first made it was to use up vegetables we had in the fridge but were in danger of being past their best. Sambar is a great way to use these. Simply dice them up, throw them in a pan and that is more or less it. We put any we don't eat the same day in the freezer. Job done.
Bananas go off so quick over here. We buy a bunch cheap enough but never eat them all before they start over rippening. So, I made banana bread the other day. Our oven here is rather basic but it rose nicely and eventually cooked after about an hour and a half.
What's everyone's ideas for using up those remnants of foods that are too good to just through away? Any particularly good ideas handed down from Grandmothers?
