Look, some common Christmas observations are constantly repeated for a reason. I really DON’T know what day it is in the period between December 25 and the New Year . Yup, gifting season really HAS crept up on us this year. And yes, the leftover Boxing Day sandwich actually IS often tastier than the dinner itself. Except that if you ask Zoe Gill, Development Chef at food service wholesaler Brakes , the festive classic is due for a maximalist upgrade. “Preventing food waste is not only a great way to protect our environment, but helps families save money and takes away the pressure of what to cook in that strange lull between Christmas and New Year,” she said. You should try a roast dinner burger this year The chef described her “stacked” leftover burger recipe as “perfect for Boxing Day (or 27th December)”. She added that it’s made up of “all the UK’s favourite leftovers, including Brussels sprouts, roast potatoes, carrots, gravy and even Yorkshire puddings.” The versatile offering could include red cabbage, cauliflower cheese, and parsnips, too. But like all truly great “Twixtmas” recipes, this one is adaptable. You don’t have to have exactly the right ingredients in exactly the right amount to end up with a moreish post-Christmas treat. What’s the recipe for the Christmas leftovers burger? Gill shared the following recipe for one person: Ingredients: 1 burger bun 1 small handful of leftover roast turkey (shredded or sliced) 2 tbsp leftover gravy 1-2 leftover Yorkshire puddings 2-3 leftover roast potatoes 2 tbsp leftover braised red cabbage 2 tbsp leftover cauliflower cheese (if available) 3-4 leftover Brussels sprouts, halved and pan-fried until crispy 1 tbsp horseradish sauce 1 skewer Optional: sliced leftover carrots or parsnips Optional: 1 quarter-pound beef burger Method: 1. Prep the leftovers Warm the gravy, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings in the oven or a pan and reheat brussels sprouts, cauliflower cheese, carrots and/or cabbage until piping hot. Lightly toast the bun (optional). 2. Build the burger Cook the quarter-pounder burger in the oven or pan (optional). To build the burger, spread a thin layer of horseradish sauce on one side of the bun, add the cabbage, then the roast turkey, the crispy brussels sprouts and the cauliflower cheese. Place the top of the bun on. 3. Crown it with a Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes Place a warmed Yorkshire pudding on top of the bun and secure with a skewer before adding the roast potatoes into the Yorkshire pudding. 4. Finish with gravy Pour hot leftover gravy over the Yorkshire pudding and serve any extra gravy on the side for dipping. Related...
