Cooking with Leftover Sausages
The most beautiful month of the year started wonderfully. No one could complain about the weather during the long weekend, and probably only a few didn't take the opportunity to prepare meals in the open air. Of course, grilled dishes reigned supreme from the grill!
Common sense at the market
During the long weekend, I planned several gatherings with friends and family. I wanted to ensure nothing was missing and that there was something for everyone. I knew I had gone overboard at the shopping stage. Everything looked beautiful at the market, so besides sausages and meat, I also bought a lot of vegetables. Exactly... that's a common mistake. We forget that besides dishes from the grill, our guests will also be eating salads and appetizers and will definitely want to save room for dessert!
Delicious and economical
What was left the most after the May feasts? Sausage. Although it was delicious and of good quality, it lost out to other goodies. Such sausage can be reheated on the grill the next day. However, after the long weekend, we long for lighter dishes, as far as that's possible with this meat. That's why I decided to add a lot of seasonal vegetables, canned tomatoes, and some mushrooms to it. It's a great way to consume the leftovers from the long weekend tastefully.
