Burnt toast can be used to make a morning shake, soup or even ice-cream
Next time you make an extra round of toast that you don’t get time to eat, or you slightly burn a piece that you’d rather not eat, don’t chuck it in the food waste bin. Instead, blend it up into a morning shake, or turn it into a comforting soup or a burnt-toast sorbet. (To make the soup, simply blend it with a handful of cooked chestnuts and enough stock until creamy in consistency, then season with a little extra-virgin olive oil, miso, mustard, salt and pepper.)
