Surf and Turf Burger

Surf and Turf Burger recipe, eat well on universal credit

This was actually far from planned. We had a bit of salad in the fridge and the return time for me from stripping a large LED Screen was unpredictable. So I bought some cheep Mince, Lactose free Cheese and some Gluten free Buns. That would have made a pretty good burger. But on my way back from Coppergate I popped my head in at Tesco. King Prawns were on offer…… The Surf and Turf Burger was born…..  

General ingredients:-

(Feel free to use whatever you have in!)

Bread Buns (Gluten free for us)
Onions, Diced
Cheese (Laclose free here), sliced
Salad (Peas Shoots and Radish here)
Tomatoes, sliced
Pickles, Gherkins worked well
Mayonnaise
Tomato Sauce
Minced Beef (500g of 20% Fat mince was £1.29)
King Prawns
Garlic Butter (Actually DIY Garlic Margarine for us)

Method:-

(1) Mix the Minced Beef with a little Salt & Pepper and form into large Burgers by hand.
(2) Cut the Buns in half and toast a little under the grill.
(3) Grill the Burgers until they are pretty close to 75c in the thickest area. Turning to brown on eat side.
(4) Add the Cheese to the top of the Burgers and grill until the Cheese melts.
(5) Lightly fry the Prawns in Garlic Butter and set aside.
(6) Dress the top and bottom inners of the buns with Mayo, Tomato Sauce Onion, Salad and sliced Tomato.
(7) Assemble the Burger. Go all ‘Free Style’ we did!

It might look a total mess, but this was one of the best ‘Random’ Gourmet Burgers we’ve ever thrown together. Day 2 of Wimbledon Tomorrow, so when I get back we might batter and deep fry some Strawberries…. Yes I’m Joking!

Turkey Thigh dinner in a giant Gluten free Yorkshire Pudding

We like a Turkey Thigh and Drummer when they are available. This was the 3rd meal from it and we’re having a Curry with the rest tonight. Not bad for £4.65 for 2 humans and Tigger the Cat. I “Tunnel Boned” the Thigh so we could just cook the meat on a bed of fresh Rosemary with Salt, Pepper and a sprinkling of herbs and Oil over the top.

We’ve slightly modified the Yorkshire Pudding recipe as there is lots of fresh Sage and Rosemary available locally:-

Ingredients:-

100g Cornflour
150ml Milk
3 eggs
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper
1 sprig of fresh Rosemary, finely chopped
3 spring of fresh Sage, Finely chopped

Method:-

(1) Heat your oiled Yorkshire Pudding tray in the oven at 220c until the oil is smoking.
(2) Whisk all the ingredients vigorously.
(3) Pour into the tray and return to the oven very quickly.
(4) Cook at 220c for 10 minutes the reduce the temperature to 180c.
(5) Cook for a further 25 minutes.
(6) Remove and either allow to cool or serve immediately. Your Yorkshire Puddings will stand reheating if required.

The other vegetables excluding the Broccoli had been blanched and frozen earlier in the month, for “A Rainy Day”. We really are running close to the bone for the next few days. But that doesn’t mean we have to eat rubbish food!
