  3. Cover with a plate that sits nicely on top and microwave on full power for 3-4 minutes, until the onion has softened.
  4. Chop up your cooked dinner leftovers into small equal pieces. Add your chopped leftovers to the bowl, stir well and add a can of chopped tomatoes.
  5. Add 150ml of hot vegetable stock and continue to microwave on full power for 6-8 minutes, until piping hot, stirring halfway through cooking.
