Can a foodie not like food? It's an oxymoron.That's just like saying that a fish does not like water.
But I must admit that fast food chains scarred me for life. Have you ever had that sinking feeling when you unwrapped your hamburger and it never ever resemble anything in the picture?
My only redemption is gourmet homemade hamburgers. It is so easy and you can pretty much add or take away any ingredients you like.
Ingredients:
500 gm premium minced beef
1 slice of whole grain bread
1 onion
1 tomato
4 pieces gherkins
4 slices of smoke cheese
4 hamburger buns
1 tsp mixed herbs
2 tsp worcester sauce
1/4 cup milk
Steps:
1. Turn oven on to 160 degrees celsius.
2. Crumb bread in a food processor.
3. Cut half the onion into rings. Quarter and finely chop the rest of the onion. Chuck out the rest of the quarter (unless you like more onion in your patties).
4. Mix mince beef, chopped onion, bread crumbs, mixed herbs, worcester sauce and milk.
5. Divide mixture into four portions and form patties. Adjust thickness according to the size of your hamburger buns.
6. Heat oil in a frying pan. Brown patties on both sides. Turn heat down to low-mediium. Leave it to cook for about 10 to 20 minutes. Cooking time depends on the thickness and how cooked you like your burgers.
7. While patties are cooking, pop the buns into the oven to warm them up.
8. Next, slice tomatoes and gherkins.
9. Butter the buns, and stack hamburgers with patties, slice cheese, onion, tomatoes and gherkins. Do not forget to add a dollop of tomato sauce.
10. Serve immediately with a side of oven fries and salad.
Serves 4
