Surface Forms
Morphology
The form 'rechew' transparently breaks down into the prefix re- ('again') + chew, suggesting 'chew again', which can be metaphorically extended to 'think over again' when paired with 'old ideas'. However, 'rechew' is uncommon/nonstandard and the metaphorical shift (from literal chewing to reconsideration) requires knowledge of patterns like 'chew over' and may not be fully predictable for a B1 learner, so it is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Rechew old ideas comes from the picture of chewing food again to get more use from it. So to Rechew old ideas means to 'rethink' or 'look at' ideas you already had to find new ones.
