Leftover Brisket Ideas
#1: Make a Quick Bolognese with Leftover Brisket
One of the best things about Bolognese is that you can use any leftover veggies, fresh or canned tomatoes, and any protein to make a really hearty and delicious Bolognese. Cook your Bolognese per the recipe, but wait to put your chopped up brisket in until the very end. Once you add your brisket, let it warm through and serve over your favorite pasta!

Kick it up with fresh grated ginger and garlic, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar. Spring roll wrappers are widely available at most grocery stores and at all Asian markets.
