Use up barbecue leftovers – tips & recipes for using up leftovers

Just Spices • February 15, 2022

Who does not know the following situation: The big barbecue party is coming up and the pressure is on to offer guests a decent selection of delicacies? After all, everyone should go home full and satisfied. It quickly happens that far too much is bought, and a lot of sausages, grilled meat, grilled vegetables or grilled cheese are left over. But don't worry, all you need now are delicious recipes from the leftover kitchen, which will make the grilled food that is no longer so juicy shine in new splendour.

How to store leftovers properly

If leftover grilled meat, sausages or vegetables have cooled down well after grilling, you should store them in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator. Stored in this way, the leftovers from the grill can be eaten 1-2 days later without hesitation.


Process grilled sausages

Whether small, large, in the form of a snail or on a skewer - the classic on the grill is still the grilled sausage. It can be enjoyed warmed up the next day with delicious sauces and dips or processed into a simple stew.

Stew with sausages: Stew with carrots and sausages is an absolute classic of German cuisine and at the same time the perfect way to use up leftovers. If you prefer it traditional, like you know it from grandma, we recommend our potato goulash with sausages. Instead of wieners, you can simply use your leftover grilled sausage.

Sausage chips Sausage chips are the perfect topping for spicy cream soups! The whole thing works best with grilled Nuremberg sausages or grilled sausages. To do this, cut the sausages into slanting, thin slices and fry them in a large pan with oil until they look golden brown and crispy. Then you put them on kitchen paper and let them drain. Finally garnish the finished cream soup with it. You can find suitable recipes in our soup recipe collection.
