Weekend Cooking: P is for Pizza

One of the things I haven't generally been good at is using leftovers. I mean, we eat them, often for lunch but usually it is in the same format so I am in envy of people who can look at their leftovers and think up something different.

An exception to this is when we make up a big batch of butter chicken, which is a mild curry. Rather than just reheating it and cooking more rice, we tend to make butter chicken pizza. We use the sauce from the curry as the sauce on the pizza base is very tasty.

I think the first time I saw this recipe it was in a small pamphlet that featured everyday recipes from Masterchef contestants and I thought it sounded a bit odd, but curry pizzas are now definitely  I think the original recipe included things like curry leaves, but the reality is that we have dumbed our version of it down a bit. I therefore don't have an exact recipe. It's more like a guide!

We have also been known to buy prepared butter chicken from the supermarket for those nights when we just want something super quick and tasty.

We start with a pre-prepared pizza base and cover it with the curry sauce and chicken. We then add red onion, baby spinach and then cover it liberally with cheese and then cook for 15 to 20 minutes.

Do you have a favourite way to use up your leftovers?
