Big match recipes
It’s time for a summer of football and food – and we have all the recipes you need for watching the big match, from burgers and tacos to loaded fries and pizza.
Kick off your big match party with recipes like our courgette fries with spicy mayo, jalapeño popper fritters and ‘nduja sausage rolls. Need something more substantial? Try our steak sandwiches and sticky beer-baked chicken. Vegetarians and vegans are well catered for with these vegan hot dogs and a colourful rainbow houmous platter, too.
The post-match celebrations wouldn’t be complete without something sweet. Slice up a peanut butter and jam traybake to share – or indulge in our popular chocolate Guinness cake.
