COOK UP AN AMERICAN FOOTBALL FEAST WITH NEWMAN’S OWN FOR THE NFL’S ARRIVAL IN LONDON

America’s National Football League will be coming to Wembley for three games in October and November making the perfect opportunity to cook up a winning spread that’s every bit as American as the national sport! With the pre-match entertainment previously including Calvin Harris and Joss Stone, you’ll need flavoursome food to match the show, so Newman’s Own have put together some mouth watering recipes for you to try.

The matches on 4th and 25th October as well as 1st November will see six clubs from across the US bring a huge and exciting part of American culture to the UK. Newman’s Own has got delicious burgers to serve up with loaded skins, as well as pork and rice with a twist. Newman’s Own, the all-profits-to-charity family favourite, has a range of salad dressings, BBQ sauces, pasta sauces and marinades available throughout the UK. Newman’s Own has already donated over £1million to a wide range of charities in the UK alone and over £250 million donated around the world.

Deliciously sticky BBQ Bangers served in crusty rolls with deliciously sweet caramelized onions courtesy of Newman's Own.

Ingredients:
6 premium pork sausages
250 ml bottle Newman’s Own Sticky Barbecue Hickory Sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large red onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons soft brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Large handful rocket leaves
6 hot dog rolls or French stick, cut into 6

Method:
1.       Place the sausages in an ovenproof dish and cover with the sticky barbecue sauce, turning to ensure evenly coated in the sauce. Cover and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
2.       Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion over a low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring often, until they are soft and starting to turn golden. Don’t be tempted to turn the heat up or they’ll burn.
3.       Add the sugar and balsamic vinegar and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often, until they are caramelized.
4.       Meanwhile cook the sausages under a preheated hot grill or barbecue for 5-6 minutes each side, basting with the marinade, until golden and cooked through.
5.       Split each roll and top with a handful of rocket, a sticky sausage and a generous helping of the caramelized onions.
