RECIPE TIPS

LEFTOVER COOKED PIGS IN BLANKETS?

If you've aleady cooked the pigs in blankets, add them with the vinegar, instead of earlier. 

LEFTOVER ROASTIES?

To serve with leftover roast potatoes, put them on a baking tray and lightly crush with the back of a fork so they split. Heat in the oven alongside the casserole for 40 mins.
