We’ve been making our own burgers at home for a while now. Well I saw we, but Rebecca is a veggie so while we both make them, only I get to eat them. We don’t make them very often but when we do we try and make them better than before — that’s the fun of cooking.
We used to try several different recipes per batch and do taste tests, but a while back Rebecca hit on a really great combination of seasoning and having had some tonight, I think it’s a damn fine burger ™.
The recipe uses minced meat and very finely chopped onion for the base mixture. Added to this is a seasoning made from sea salt, black pepper corns, yellow mustard power and ginger ground up with a pestle and mortar. We’ve not gotten round to recording the measurments yet, we just make it so it looks and smells right. Mix it all up in a bowl, shape into thin pates with your hands, and fry on a medium heat for 3 to 4 mins on each side. Serve in a fresh burger bun with onions fried in buffer and streaky bacon or Jalapeño. If the cooking time takes too long, then the pates are too thick.
As an added bonus I’ve managed to insert my first TV reference into this post, hurray! Speaking of which, I need a coffee.
