Every year, we find ourselves with leftovers at home without fail and this is where our Thermomix kicks into action and helps create an amazing pie.. Although we tend to over-prepare, there’s nothing worse than running out on the day. Our preference is for a traditional roast lunch, so we start by cooking all the meats in the morning. Chris, always the early riser, takes on the task of cooking the turkey at 5 am while I’m still snoring away. I join in early enough to handle the remaining preparations.

We use the Varoma of our Thermomix to cook the chicken, finishing it off in the oven. This method allows us to simultaneously prepare homemade gravy.

To tackle the potatoes, we give them a quick boil. As the varoma can’t accommodate all the veggies, I use it for carrots and pumpkin to steam quickly on top of the chicken.

Everyone enjoys the lunch, but inevitably, there are leftovers. The solution? A simple Leftovers’ Pie.

Hint: This approach works exceptionally well with any leftover meats and veggies.
