Why a Summer BBQ is More Than Just a Meal

Picture this: the BBQ sizzling, the sun shining, and the table set for your closest friends and family. It’s these moments that make summer unforgettable. Beyond the food, it’s about the connections we create, sharing stories, laughter, and the simple joy of eating together.

At the heart of this quintessential summer experience is the food. The perfect BBQ menu doesn’t just fill plates; it sparks conversations. And this recipe, with Cleaver’s Organic Chuck and Brisket Burgers as the star, does just that.

Crafted from premium organic grass-fed beef, these burgers are everything you want at a BBQ, juicy, flavourful, with no nasties and made with the best quality ingredients.

When paired with a smoky, creamy roasted capsicum & feta spread, they deliver a flavour-packed bite that’s sure to have everyone asking for seconds.

The Secret Weapon: Roasted Capsicum & Feta Spread

Let’s talk about this spread. Smoky roasted capsicums meet tangy feta, creating a rich, velvety condiment that’s the perfect complement to a hearty beef patty. The capsicums, charred directly on the BBQ, bring an earthy depth of flavour. Combined with creamy feta, a hint of smoked paprika, and garlic, this spread is so good you’ll want to slather it on everything, from burgers to grilled veggies.

What’s more, it’s incredibly simple to make. Roasting the capsicums on the BBQ adds a rustic, smoky aroma that transforms the humble capsicum into something extraordinary. Whether you're hosting a big summer bash or a laid-back family dinner, this spread is the kind of addition that makes your menu stand out.

Roasted Capsicum & Feta Spread Burgers with Cleaver’s Organic Chuck and Brisket Patties

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes

For the Burgers:

4 Cleaver’s Organic Chuck and Brisket Burger patties

4 burger buns, halved

4 slices of smoked cheddar (optional)

1 cup mixed salad greens

1 red onion, thinly sliced

1 large tomato, sliced

For the Roasted Capsicum & Feta Spread:

2 red capsicums 

100g feta cheese

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembly:

BBQ sauce

Pickles (optional, for extra tang)

Roast the Capsicum on the BBQ:

Preheat the BBQ to medium-high heat.

Place whole capsicums directly on the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred all over.

Transfer the capsicums to a bowl, cover with foil or a lid, and let them steam for 10 minutes.

Peel off the charred skin, remove seeds, and roughly chop the flesh.

Prepare the Capsicum & Feta Spread:

Using a BBQ-safe pan or foil packet, combine the roasted capsicum, crumbled feta, olive oil, smoked paprika, and minced garlic. Mash and mix with a fork until slightly chunky and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.

Grill the Burger Patties:

Lightly oil the BBQ grill grates and reduce the heat to medium.

Cook the Cleaver’s Organic Chuck and Brisket Burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. If using, place a slice of smoked cheddar on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Toast the Buns:

Place the halved burger buns cut-side down on the BBQ for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted.

Assemble the Burgers:

Spread a generous amount of the roasted capsicum and feta mixture on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

Add a layer of salad greens, a grilled burger patty, and top with slices of tomato and onion.

Drizzle with BBQ sauce and add pickles if desired.

Place the top bun on and serve hot.
