- Tip in the tomatoes, oregano and thyme. Give everything a stir and bring to the boil. Lower the heat until a steady simmer is reached and cook for 10 minutes.

Notes
- This recipe works well with just about any leftover cooked meat, such as chicken, pork, beef or lamb!
- Since the meat has already been cooked and is essentially being reheated, it’s best to eat everything once this dish is cooked. Reheating already reheated meat risks food poisoning…
