Homemade beef burgers


Now when you do get the weather to have a barbeque you cannot beat making your own beef burgers. Now as long as you have some good minced beef and a bit of egg to bind everything together then you will have a burger. Now what you put in them to give them a bit of a boost is up to you, just salt and pepper or a whole lot more.  This particular recipe gives them a sort of Italian flavour to them. But use garlic ginger and lemongrass and get a Thai flavour,   rosemary thyme and sage to get a really old English style burger. Whatever you use is up to you the world is your oyster as long as you can bind it with the beef.

You will need
450g/16oz lean beef mince
2 garlic cloves
1tsp mustard
1 egg
1 red chilli
1 onion
Fresh basil
Fresh parsley
Fresh oregano
Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.

Get you herbs and chop them up along with the garlic, chilli and the onion. Now how fine is up to you, I like a nice rustic look to my burgers but you might not, also if you make them rustic they do look homemade.

Now in a bowl crack your egg and whisk that up with a fork. Add your beef and the chopped herbs and mustard then season well. Now the only thing to do is get stuck in with your hand and work it all together so everything is fully combined together. To make sure that you have a burger that you like the taste of cook a small amount in a frying pan, if you need to season some more.
Now make and from your burgers , pop them on  tray and in to the fridge.

When you are ready to cook place them under the grill or on the barbeque for about 5 to 6 minutes each side so they are fully cooked all the way through.

Then all you have to do is serve them in a bun with some salad and what every  you would like with it onions, tomato or just ketchup.  Or try my burger dressing of mayonnaise ketchup and horseradish all mixed together.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then...
