BBQ Recipes To Try During This Weekend!
With the weather across the country set to hit 30 degrees this weekend, we have some great recipe suggestions for enjoying a BBQ!
We've also included some veggie and vegan options.
Bratwurst Hot Dog with Pickled Ribbon Vegetables
Description:
We’re pretty sure that once you try our Bratwurst Hot Dog recipe it’ll be a firm favourite on your menu. These juicy sausages sit in soft brioche buns and are topped with Primula Burger Cheese for the ultimate feast
Ingredients:
For the pickled vegetables:
1 carrot, peeled and sliced into ribbons with a potato peeler
½ cucumber, sliced into ribbons with a potato peeler
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
125ml white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 Bratwurst sausages
4 brioche hot dog rolls
140g Primula Burger Cheese
Method:
Put the carrot and cucumber ribbons into a bowl and sprinkle over the sugar and salt. Massage the vegetables gently for a few minutes then squeeze out the excess moisture.
Pack into a clean jam jar and pour in sufficient vinegar to half fill the jar. Top up with water so that the vegetables are covered. Seal with the lid and shake to mix together. Leave to stand for at least 20 minutes.
Meanwhile heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the Bratwurst sausages over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning frequently until thoroughly cooked through.
Slice the hot dog rolls along the top, without cutting all the way through and fill with some of the pickled vegetables.
Place a cooked Bratwurst sausage in each roll and serve with a generous squeeze of Primula Burger Cheese.
Serves: 4
Tips: Any leftover pickled vegetables will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks

Easy beany Burgers with Primula Perfectly Plant
Description:
We love a good vegan burger and this one tops the taste charts! Primula Perfectly Plant coats the ingredients in a creamy texture for a firm burger than won’t fall apart! Burger night just got even better!
Ingredients:
50g pine nuts
Oil for frying
1 large onion
425g can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
198g can sweetcorn, drained
2 x 140g Primula Perfectly Plant
85g fresh breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Black pepper
Vegan burger buns
Salad leaves, to serve
1 large tomato, sliced, to serve
Method:
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly toast the pine nuts for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Remove from the pan onto a plate and set aside to cool.
Finely chop half of the onion, then slice the remaining half and put to one side for later. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the frying pan and add the finely chopped onion. Fry gently until soft and just starting to brown.
Meanwhile, empty the kidney beans into a large bowl and mash well with a potato masher or fork. Add the pine nuts, drained sweetcorn and fried onion. Then stir in 4 tablespoons of Primula Perfectly Plant, half of the breadcrumbs and the parsley. Season to taste with black pepper and mix well.
Shape the mixture into 4 burgers and coat the outside of each burger with the remaining breadcrumbs. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and gently fry the remaining sliced onion until it is caramelised and golden. Remove from the pan and keep on one side to serve with the cooked burgers.
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in the same frying pan and fry the beany burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side until crisp and golden.
Serve the beany burgers in buns with salad leaves and a slice of tomato. Top with a generous squeeze of Primula Perfectly Plant and crispy fried onion slices.
Serves: 4
Variations:
Divide the mixture into 8 smaller burgers and serve in pitta bread with salad leaves and a generous squeeze of Primula Perfectly Plant.
