Advantages: Healthier than shop bought

Disadvantages: None

I'm far from the worlds greatest cook, although I love having people round for dinner, a natter and a drink.

I have often had friends round for an indoor BBQ. Although I buy all the other meat ready to cook, I do like to make my own beef burgers as they are dead easy to make, tasty and it shows that I have made some effort.

Serves : 4
Preparation time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

400g lean mince beef
4 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp tomato kechup
Half a large onion, very finely chopped
4 cloves of garlic, very finely chopped
2 tsp mustard
a few dashes of Worcester sauce
pepper (I don't personally cook with salt)
1 egg yolk

Recipe:
Chop the onion finely. Mix all of the ingredients together. I always make sure that mine are rather peppery because that's how I personally like them best. Squidge (technical chef term) the mixture into circular burger shapes.

My mum always tells me that it is best to chill them in the fridge before cooking them but I'm always running late so never do this!

I always grill the burgers, as it's the healthy option.

I like to serve my burges with lots of choices of relish, sauces, cheese, onions, mushrooms, bacon etc etc so that people can sort of build their own.

I also like to make a warm curried salad to go with it which I make by preparing a salad. Then I fry some par boiled potatoes in patax rogan josh curry paste and mix the warmed potatoes in with the salad.

Yum!

Summary: I like a bit of meat
