Heads up for those making their own patties. The Super Butcher has on special until this sunday buy 2 KG of Black Angus mince and get 3 KG FREE. yup - no typo. I scored 4 KG at $52.00 total and walked out with 6 KG worth $78.00 free Black Angus mince. Total 10KG for a puny $52.00. They make the BEST burgers on the planet with herbs, chilli and onion in them. Freezer is CHOCKER full of Black Angus now all in sizes of 4 patties a bag ready for the defrost. :icon_drool2:

Oh - nearest on to me is Oxenford opposite Woolworths across the road.

Edit: This mince binds together by itself. No egg etc required. About 12% fat its flavour is awesome.

I was just picking up the phone to send my missus out to pick up a few KG but then I saw you were on the gold coast...

Not much chance of driving there and back from Sydney and still being home in time to pick up the kids from school in the afternoon.

D'oh!

Folks

Just finished off some roo burgers on home made bread rolls. Couldn't take a photo. The kids hooked in as soon as the tops were on. Once they had their fangs in they weren't fit to be photographed.

500g roo mince.
3 rashers bacon
1 medium onion
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon lemon myrtle
2 chillis.

Put bacon, onion, chilli, lemon myrtle and garlic into a food processor and munge up. Smooge through the roo mince. Salt & pepper to taste.

Shape into 6 patties. Fry (put cheese on top when you turn them over)

Server on home made bread rolls with runny egg, lettuce, tomato and beetroot. A little bit of BBQ or tomato sauce to finish it off.

Yum. :icon_drool2:

The roo works a treat in a burger. My daughter (6) asked "but don't you feel just a little bit sorry for the poor kangaroo?". The rest of us turned to her with roo juice dripping down our faces and said "nope".

Edit - I did take a photo of the rolls and couldn't resist showing off



Cheers
Dave

Home made bread and lemon myrtle? Good work. I love both of them.

Unfortunately my crappy oven doesn't seal so it's hard to make good bread at home. When I worked in kitchens I used to make some great ones and the flavour of fresh bread is unsurpassable. Love lemon myrtle too - especially with Australian game.

Explain to your daughter how much better roo meat is for the entire nation and environment as well as health when compared with beef or lamb.

That bacon in with the roo mince ain't half a bad idea eh?

Yep... we explained all that. She listened intently, asked questions and decided it really was very yummy and not such a bad thing after all. "But I am still just a little bit sorry for the kangaroo".

That bacon was indeed a cracking idea. Well done that man.

Made burgers again last night using Katie's recipe (cheers for that, its now my stock burger recipe and will be trying it out on mates this Friday)

This time i used a much fattier mince and the result was a much juicier burger. Partner was a tad skeptical about all the extra ingredients but gave 2 thumbs (coated in burger juices) up.

No bacon or egg this time, just a big whack of home made tomato chutney, melted cheese, tomato, beetroot and lettuce.

beetroot is criminal on burgers Smurts.

I get really disappointed if I dont get beetroot on a burger or steak sandwich.

what else is canned beetroot used for?

Except for blending up with tahini and garlic for a dip. that would work mighty fine with a kangaroo burger Im thinking.

:icon_offtopic:

Smurt(s) is a name only a few people use, weird seeing it here.

Back on topic, i grew up on beetroot. Mum grew loads of it in the garden and then preserved it. Her preserving urn is now my HLT although i do have all the jars that i use for apricots each year. I cant eat sandwiches in summer without beetroot and always get a bit grumpy when i order a burger with the lot and it doesn't have beetroot. Hardly the lot......grumble grumble...... false advertising...grumble grumble.... :lol:

 

[Fents]

Sorry mate DrS it is.

Im assuming your using a Vacola preserving? my missus just got given a very very old one and loves it.

And a burger with the lot to me is a burger with pattie, lettuce, bacon, egg, onions, cheese, dead horse, tomato and a potato cake in it...and dont get them to give you the potato cake separte for you to put in they have to cook it and whack it in for you.

Bit like the old KFC tower burger with a hash brown in it...smashed heaps of them in my time... om nom nom nom

 

[Katherine]

Fresh beetroot of cause is the best for dips it goes a beautiful colour. The tin stuff with tahini goes a pretty pink. But still tasty.

Do you have the egg runny? potato cake on a burger ???? and you were knocking beetroot. Beetroot and cheese sandwiches rock!

 

[Fents]

no runny egg's here.

I have 4 different types of beetroot growing in the vege garden.

Oh.. and not having beetroot on a burger... unaustralian.

Smurt(s) is fine mate, its just weird seeing nicknames that are used elsewhere pop up here.

Yup, Vacola preserving urn, temp control is in Fahrenheit (which pre-dates me). I use it for fruit, zucchini salad, tomatoes and anything else excess from the garden. Mum is happy it's not solely a part of my brewery!

KFC tower burgers! I lived next door to KFC during my undergrad days. Ate way too many of them.

I had 2 scots living with me for a month when i was i Melbourne a few years back. One of them would sit at the table with a jar of beetroot and a fork! I pile it up on my plate at bbqs. Love the stuff!

Beetroot soup (Borsch) is soooooo good.

Isn't it was our national vegetable :lol:

 

[Katherine]

Beetroot Salad (fresh of cause)

Cook beetroot

cut up beetroot

Bed of Rocket, walnuts, red onion and goats cheese

top with beetroot that has being sitting in a dressing of EVOO and red balsamic. YUM!

Love to try it with the white and red beetroot Airgead has growing. That would look wild.
