Everything tastes better with cheese…including last night’s roast dinner! Dressed up with some garlicky croutons and a zesty lemon-mustard dressing, your leftover roast meat and potatoes will be even yummier than they were the night before.

Ingredients

Method

Step 1

To make buttermilk curd, stand carton in a medium saucepan. Fill halfway with water. Slowly bring to the boil on medium heat, then simmer for 35–40 minutes. Remove carton carefully. Cool, then refrigerate unopened overnight until cold.

Step 2

Carefully open buttermilk carton and place curd into a fine strainer over a bowl. This will separate the curds and whey (the liquid). Place the whey in a lidded jar and transfer curd to a clean bowl.

Step 3

For dressing, add oil, lemon juice and mustard to the whey in the jar. Shake well. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Transfer curd from strainer to a clean bowl. Add lemon zest and season. Whisk lightly. Cover and refrigerate.

Step 5

To make croutons, place butter and garlic in a large frying pan on medium heat. Add bread. Cook, tossing, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.

Step 6

To serve, combine leftovers, capers, herbs and whey dressing in a large bowl. Spoon curd among serving plates. Top with salad and scatter with croutons.
