The Perfect Burger

I've always liked a good burger. McDonalds was ok but I did prefer Burger King, think maybe it was because they were bigger and the salad seemed fresh and crunchy. But since Tina has been making these burgers from scratch at home I haven't had one out since.
I don't know what she does but they taste amazing every time.

This recipe makes two large burgers, if you need more adjust the ingredients to suit.

500g minced/ground beef
1 large onion
salt & pepper to taste
cream cheese or raclette
1 chilli

Tina grinds her own beef, you can also use shop bought ready minced beef. Cut up the onion and mix with the beef.
Separate the beef/onion mix into four balls. Next you will need to use the burger press http://a-fwd.to/5Eo6oDJ
Press each ball into a flat burger.
Take one burger and put some of the cheese onto the middle then add the chillis (optional). Put another burger on top and then press the edges together making it one big burger. You will have to mould it a bit in your hands but it should all stick together.

Now you can fry them up until the burger is cooked all the way through and then serve it up in a nice roll with fresh salad and whatever sauce you choose. Oh and not forgetting a slice of burger cheese.

A tastey Hot Chilli pickle.

Hopefully this should be good! I found a recipe online for a nice green chilli pickle, all our chillis are red! So this will be loosely based on the recipe I found and it will take a few days to knock up. For this you will need: 1.5 - 2 cups of chopped green chillis 6 tablespoons of Mustard seeds 3 tablespoons of Rock salt 2 teaspoons of Turmeric powder 1 cup Mustard oil 5 -6 Lemons (1/2 cup of lemon juice) 1 cup = 250ml This should be enough to fill a medium sized jar So as I mentioned before there will be some tweaks. First being with the green chillis. All ours at the moment are red but I don't suppose that matters too much so I added....... Two Numex Big Jims Two Maule Hot Two Satans Kiss One Thai Dragon Also I changed the Rock salt for chunky table salt and when it came to the Mustard seeds I ground Two Tablespoons of seeds and used two Tablespoons of Mustard powder, we shall see how it turns out. So first off cut the chillis into chunks,

Spicy Cheese & Bacon Loaf.

If you love cheese and bacon you will love this. It's great served up as a meal or cut up to share at a party. You will need: 1 Baguette 2cup/8oz/240g cream cheese 1 red pepper (diced) 1cup/4oz/120g mozzarella (grated) 1cup/4oz/120g cheddar cheese (grated) 1tsp ground pepper 2tsp hot chilli flakes 3 packs of bacon/jambon cru First of all you will need to cut the Baguette in half length ways and hollow out the middle. Mix the cheeses, pepper and dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stuff both halves of the baguette and place the halves back together again. Wrap the baguette with the bacon or jambon cru. Bake at 180ºc/350ºf/gas mark 4 for approx 25mins Tina made this for us the other night and it went down a treat. You don't have to use chilli if you are not up to spicy food. We use Jambon cru inst
