BBQ Leftovers – Recipe Ideas

Leftover Burger Wraps

Our first recipe idea is for leftover burger wraps.  You will need:

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 onion, diced

1 green pepper, diced

3 cloves of garlic, crushed

1 tbsp ground cumin

3-4 leftover cooked burgers, crumbled

1 tin chopped tomatoes

To serve:

Tortilla wraps or corn tacos

Grated cheddar

Sour cream

Directions:

Heat the oil in a heavy pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, pepper and garlic and cook gently for five minutes. The onion should become translucent and the peppers slightly soft. Add the cumin and give the mixture a good stir. Add the crumbled burgers and tinned tomato and cook until both the sauce and the meat are piping hot, this should take about 10 minutes. Spoon the mix into the tacos or tortilla wraps, top with the cheddar and sour cream, and serve.

Sausage and onion pasta

Ideal for left over sausages filled with any meat or herbs is a great meal idea for the children.  You will need:

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 onion, sliced

2 cloves of garlic, crushed

2 cooked sausages, chopped

50ml of stock

1 lemon, juiced

250ml single cream

A portion of your favourite pasta

To serve:

Grated cheddar

Directions:

Start by caramelising your onions, which should take around 15 minutes. Fry the onions gently in the vegetable oil until they’re soft and start to turn golden brown. Add the garlic and cook for another couple of minutes. If the onions stick to the bottom of the pan at any point, add a splash of stock. While the onions are caramelising you can cook the pasta, following the directions on the packet. Once it’s cooked, drain and put it to one side. Put the sausages in with the onions and cook until the edges go brown. Add all of the stock and warm through for two minutes, then add the cream and lemon juice. Stir, season, and serve with cheese.
