One of the best parts of Christmas dinner every year is without doubt the huge amount of leftovers that can keep you going for days. Let's be honest, a Boxing Day lunch made up of all the leftovers can even sometimes end up being better than the big meal on the day itself, but if you're at a loss with what to do with your leftovers this year - or you just want some fresh inspiration on how to approach whipping them up into another meal, this recipe from Jamie Oliver is for you.
The TV chef takes inspiration from Italy for this one, and the homemade bread you will enjoy this leftover sandwich on is simply unforgettable. Jamie's aim was to create a recipe that can include whatever leftovers from Christmas dinner you have in your fridge, so it's also a super flexible approach to making sure nothing goes to waste. However, turkey is definitely the main act in Jamie's version - so you might need to make some tweaks if you had a plant-based festive season.
You won't regret taking the time for this warm, homemade bread, and the fresh pickle the expert recommends whipping up as a garnish will add a seriously satisfying crunch to the proceedings, "Inspired by the Italian muffuletta, this is a sensational sharer sandwich that celebrates all those lovely Christmas leftovers. I'm sharing the principles of this so you can build your own, based on what you’ve got left in the fridge," Jamie explains on his website.
