You can also freeze the stock then you always have some handy.

Good idea - freezing the stock. Then we can just add vegetables.

1) pasta bake (pasta layered with a tomato sauce - either home-made or bought if you don't want to open a can of tinned toms - and cheese then bunged in the oven)
2) Oven risotto - basically the same as a risotto, but just put it into an oven dish and bung it in the oven when it comes to slowly adding the liquid, it does lose a little in the speed and ease, but not huge amounts imho, and if its family dinner, it still tastes cracking)
3) Jambalaya - whatever you've got as leftover stirfried with rice, then add some chopped tinned toms and bubble away for a bit with some spices
4) slow cooker casserole - bung anything in, leave it to cook all day - lovely stew for dinner (probably not for ultra hot summer days though)
5)Smoked mackerel cheese on toast - google 'nigel slater mackerel on toast' - so yummy and surprisingly filling
6)The chicken stock from the carcas of a roast chicken, turned into hot Asian chicken soup, with chillis, bok choi and noodles added
7) leftover chicken from the roast chicken = anything tex-mex (enchiladas/fajitas/tacos/nachos/quesedos etc) (or the risotto in 2, and/or add some to the jambalaya in 3)

Need more? (So so so LOVE cooking for family lol)

Chicken goujons (coated in your own recipe breadcrumbs) go really well with a spicy Thai-style mango salad.

My favourite tea at the moment!
