NPR published a collection of seven creative ways to turn leftovers into new meals, based on audience responses to a previous story and podcast episode on reducing food waste by journalist Emily Siner. The ideas include layering leftovers into a biryani casserole, smashing them into a crunchy panini, and using a rotisserie chicken carcass to make stock. Other suggestions involve stuffing ancho peppers with roasted vegetables, scrambling leftovers with tofu for breakfast, making a Polish beet soup called Barszcz Ukraiński, and pressing leftovers into a cheesy quesadilla. Each tip was contributed by a named audience member and edited for length and clarity. The story was edited by Meghan Keane, with visual editing by CJ Riculan.
