I said it before and I’ll say it again — I love leftovers. Some of my favorite meals came into existence by using up a bit of this and that. Take this dinner of pan-seared portobello mushrooms, spinach, and brown rice potato cake. It was the result of needing to use up a few stray items in the fridge before going shopping. The spinach and mushrooms were delicious, but the real star of the meal turned out to be the happy marriage of leftover mashed potatoes and cooked brown rice.
When mixed with some seasonings and sauteed, the brown rice and potatoes transformed into a third entity with a wonderful texture and flavor that provided an ideal companion for the mushrooms and spinach all complemented by a tangy lemon-caper sauce.
