Hamburgers

[manticle]

Beetroot is a vegetable I love but not anywhere near salads or breads. Braise a rabbit or wild hare for 8 hours with golden beets and baby beets and globe carrots and other fancy root vegetables you like, red wine and fresh hard herbs. Yes.

Put it on a burger. No

Even more confused by the potato cake. With: yes. On: No.

Just did a variation on my roo burgers but as meatballs. Ah the versatility of food (except beetroot and potato cakes on burgers you freaky weirdos). Happy to be unaustralian. Not enjoying Fosters is possibly unaustralian too.

Bummer! Just finished making some burgers for dinner and see the onion sitting on the bench hiding behind my can of VB. Forgot to mix it into the meat! Made some nice BBQ sauce to go on them though:

2tbspns oil
1 small onion
3 tspns malt vinegar
1 tbspn brown sugar
4 tabspn tomato sauce
2 tspns worcester sauce
2 tspns soy sauce.

Cook onion in the oil until soft, add everything else, bring to the boil, turn down the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 mins. Allow to cool until serving.

Yum!

Cheers
Steve

Edit.....do you think I should take the patties back out of the fridge and add the onion and then remake the patties?

You could just cook the onion and have it on top of the burger

Maybe caramilze the onion in butter, sugar and balsamic vinegar! Add a little dijon mustard and thyme to them also! Slowly cook them for around 30 minutes beautiful!

Ive ignored the VB comment. Steve!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I never really measure the ingredients I put into my burger patties nor do I always use the same thing. Adds to the mystique!

It's usually always equal parts pork and beef mince, or if we're feeling a bit mediterranean, lamb and beef mince + some/all of the following... egg + enough breadcrumbs to bind + a mix (or all) of paprika/cumin/coriander flakes/chili flakes/curry powder/parsley/pepper/salt + worcestershire/bbq/tomato sauce + finely diced onion + grated carrot + parmesan cheese powder + chopped olives + beer.

There's usually a mix of bacon, egg, cheese (lots), lettuce, tomato, spreaded feta, seeded mustard, various sauces, BACON!!!, more bacon, MOAR B@C0N!!!!, mayo. Sometimes we'll use burger rolls, sometimes toasted bread, sometimes we'll even toast a pita and wrap it up like a burger kebab!

Hungry now. Damn it!

 

[manticle]

Egg to wet it, breadcrumbs to dry it.
Try good fatty mince and see how it binds without that stuff. Your pork should take care of that.
Yes, bacon.

 

[slcmorro]

The combination of egg and breadcrumbs helps bind the patties, and give it some more substance IMO.

 

[manticle]

Fatty mince binds on its own and eggs and breadcrumbs make patties taste breadcrumby IMO. It's meat. Should taste like meat. Best burgers I've made and best commercial burgers I eat are made from 100% good quality (ie NOT lean) mince.

As my grandmother always said "fat is flavour".

Fatty mince is a must for burgers, sausages, kofta, chevaps etc etc. Some say it is bad for you, I say everything in moderation.

 

[slcmorro]

I like the taste personally, with the eggs and breadcrumbs mixed in. I get your point though. To each their own.

 

[manticle]

Your burgers, your rules.
I prefer to add less rather than more.
