Riviera Grill Has Inventive Ways to Use Those Thanksgiving Leftovers

Nov. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Every family knows the drill with Thanksgiving leftovers.  There’s the brief few days of joy, knowing your fridge is stocked with delicious food, but that joy quickly transforms to distress when you realize you’re going to have to throw most of it out.

Riviera Grill, easily among the best restaurants in Brooklyn for sushi and other cuisines, wants to help families prevent this sort of waste. And to do their part, their talented and innovative cooks have many alternative ideas that you can use for those Thanksgiving leftovers. Many people may not quite understand what a restaurant that specializes in suchiu would have to offer to Thanksgiving traditions, but the answer is surprisingly simple.

First and foremost, why not make a creative sushi-style roll?  It’s actually easy to do and the only ingredient you’ll need that you probably don’t have on hand with the leftovers is a bit of rice.  After making your rice, lay it out on a bamboo mat (or any other sort of mat, as long as it is flexible enough to bend and roll. Make sure you lay the rice out evenly and as flat as possible.

Next you will want to layer your leftover mashed potatoes on top of the rice. Smooth it down and cover the rice completely. Next, throw on some of that extra turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. With all of this layered on top of one another, roll up your mat to shape all of this into your roll. Cut the resulting product into portions and enjoy your delicious Thanksgiving Leftover roll!

Perhaps the greatest thing about this alternative is that both meat eaters and vegetarians can make their own version of it.  If you prefer, you can leave the turkey out and load the roll down with your favorite Thanksgiving veggies.

Sure, this is a great idea for using up those leftovers, but you may also want to consider it as an appetizer of sorts.  Make up a few batches of these and enjoy them while watching the game. Of course, going this route may cause you to rethink using turkey as your focal point for your meal, but that’s not always a bad thing.

The key here is to get creative with your leftovers and you’ll never have to throw them out. As perhaps the best sushi restaurant in Brooklyn, Riviera Grill is always full of ideas, as their menu consistently shows.
