While we're all #athometogether it’s a great time to perfect your lunch game and stretch 1 meal into 2 to get you through today and tomorrow.
It might seem like some effort, but this is nothing new, generations before us found ways to use and re-purpose meals to make every dollar stretch a little further and with some clever tips you can also find new meals in leftovers that would otherwise go to waste. We’re starting off with something most of us eat on a regular basis, Salmon.
SALMON TONIGHT...
Leftover salmon or tuna can be substituted for bacon or other fillings in a frittata or quiche for a lunch idea that can be eaten by more than one, or eaten over 2 lunches, we have a list of quiche and frittata recipes that can be cooked in no time (see below). Of course you can also use canned salmon or tuna if you find yourself with no leftovers.

- Salmon with Creamy Mint Sauce
...TOMORROW’S QUICHE
Using an Air Fryer instead of a traditional oven means almost no preheating time and you can portion up your quiche into ramekins or up to a 19cm tin if you're using a large capacity air fryer like our Ultimate Fry Deluxe to cook a quick quiche or frittata.
