James Whelan Butchers has partnered with Too Good To Go<\/a>\u00a0ahead of\u00a0Christmas<\/a>\u00a0to show shoppers how to make the most of their leftovers.<\/p>\n

This Christmas, 57% of Irish adults will have leftover food after Christmas dinner, equating to approximately one million households nationally, according to research commissioned by Too Good To Go.<\/p>\n

Noting this, James Whelan Butchers is a perfect partner for the food surplus app, as the butcher employs a nose-to-tail eating philosophy, and so it has issued some tips for families ahead of the festive season.<\/p>\n

First, keep roast meats, pies and other festive dishes in the freezer to enjoy after the holidays.<\/p>\n

Repurpose leftovers creatively \u2013 make soups, pies, sandwiches, or whatever takes your fancy with last night\u2019s dinner.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Invite friends, family and neighbours over to enjoy surplus food, to ensure it doesn\u2019t go to waste while catching up with loved ones.<\/p>\n

Finally, make sure food is stored correctly in properly sealed containers, to help preserve freshness and flavour.<\/p>\n

With these steps, Irish households can ensure they enjoy Christmas dinner beyond the day itself, saving money in addition to preventing\u00a0food waste<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Nothing Is Wasted\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Speaking about saving food, butcher\u00a0Pat Whelan<\/a>\u00a0said, \u201cWith a little planning and creativity, leftovers can be given a makeover.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeftover roast beef makes an epic sandwich with a little watercress and a good dollop of mustard.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeftover turkey makes a comforting turkey curry \u2013 just add some spices, onion, tomatoes and cream.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd for those lucky enough to have some heritage ham left over, simply dish it up in a pasta salad with cheese, spring onion, grapes and mayo \u2013 delicious.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt James Whelan Butchers, we\u2019ve always honoured and made the most of every part of the animal. Nothing is wasted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, our Golden Fork, Great Taste award-winning beef dripping is handmade from suet that had previously been wasted and disregarded.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow you can use it to roast the tastiest potatoes, sear your steak, or just slather it onto some toast with a sprinkle of sea salt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Too Good To Go\u2019s\u00a0Machaela O Leary<\/a>\u00a0added, \u201cMany households are already taking positive steps \u2013 freezing, sharing and repurposing leftovers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe festive season is the perfect time to embrace these habits and discover how easy it can be to reduce food waste.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
