“Let’s make a simple Bacon & Cheese Burger” Sue said. We had half of a pack of Yellow Sticker Beef Mince ( We’ve doing Spagboll with the rest tonight ) Where we always fail is the “Simple” part!!!!!
Nobody in their right minds will try to replicate this, so a recipe would be pointless. But basically we had toasted home made Gluten free Buns, cut and grilled. Home made Marie Rose sauce on the bottom section of bun. A layers of Salad, Gherkins and sliced Tomatoes. Then the hand pressed Burger with Chilli Cheese melted over the top. Well grilled Bacon and the top bun. Then three home made Onion Rings!
See we can do a simple Burger – It’s just that we don’t…...
We we've said it before, low budget food doesn't need to be boring. The other evening having found a pack of Cumberland Sausages in the supermarket discounts we were blithering on about doing something a bit different with them. Well this was certainly different!
A sort of cross between a modified Scotch Egg and and Onion Bhaji
Ingredients:-
Egg filling:-
3 hard boiled Eggs
Mayonnaise
Grated mature Cheddar
Black Pepper
Sausage Case:-
6 Cumberland Sausages stripped from their casings
Onion Bhaji Covering:-
3 medium Onions
Gram Flour
Salt
Ground Cloves
Chilli Flakes
Baking powder
Method:-
(1) When your Eggs have cooled make an Egg Mayonnaise and add the grated Cheese. You are looking for a fairly stiff consistency so you can roll it into balls by hand.
(2) Roll the Egg filling into balls a little smaller than a Golf ball.
(3) Wrap each ball in Sausage Meat.
(4) Mix your Bhaji mix so it is very stiff.
(5) Heat your oil to 160c
(6) Coat eat ball in Bhaji mix by hand. This is very messy!
(7) Deep fry individually for 10 to 12 minutes until the coating is crisp and brown.
(8) Cut the first in half to check that the cheese in the middle has melted and adjust your frying time accordingly.
We have hand cut chips, home made Coleslaw and Gluten free Garlic bread with ours.
