This is one of my “go-to” snacks for whenever I want something quick and tasty. Assembled in moments and cooked in about 10 minutes, these epitomise fast food for me and are perfect devoured in front of the television, or passed around at any gathering for others to tuck into.
This “left-overs” dish really could not be simpler to make and you can use whatever ingredients are lying around. I often make this with vegetables from the allotment, but it works well with tinned veg such as sweetcorn and artichokes.
I love using a spicy sauce from the fridge: besides, there are always bottles of different sauces lurking around, but a decent barbeque sauce works a treat. I sometimes add some left-overs from a roast: chicken and pork are particularly good here, but often I have this meat-free.
