Well the sun came out again after a brief rainy spell so the barbie went ahead as planned. Well, I say as planned...as planned about 3 hours ago when we invited Annie (and Jack of course) and The Woo's dad over. Ben's working so dropped them off, stayed for a bit and then went to earn his daily crust.
Decided to make a few burgers and get some fresh air in the late afternoon sunshine. It's absolutely belting out there at the moment.
Burgers are easy and everyone has their own favourite way but these are so simple and relatively cheap.
In a bowl I mixed up 800g of steak mince, a finely chopped red onion, a clove of garlic also finely chopped, a sprinkle of dried
oregano, a squeeze of tomato puree and some sea salt and pepper. This was all mixed together with an egg yolk and then divided into burgers. I use a small 8cm mould to get them roughly the same size and tightly packed. This amount made eight large and two small Jack sized burgers. In the fridge for an hour and then on the hot coals. We had ours with a salad made by The Woo and a warm potato salad into which was mixed a sliced fried red onion and some green beans from Arthur's garden. Yummy!
Good job we made enough as Sam came home just as we finished eating and polished off the last couple of burgers. Sunshine and lovely people. Great stuff!
