Vegetarian burger

Brocade Blue Sunday, November 22, 2015 1 Comments

So in my earlier post I had mentioned that I had been hacking other recipe blogs recipes'

While some hack worked some didn't. Over the past week I had been cooking with recipes taken from vegrecipesofindia.com and her recipes are spot on with the measurements. One of her recipe that I really liked was the vegetable burger recipe. Of course the list of ingredient was too long and I only used half of that and whatever I had sitting in the fridge but the burger patties turned out very well that I had to put up the pictures here for you to see

The crispiest burgers I have made so far

Food review: chestnut mushroom burgers

Brocade Blue Monday, February 02, 2015 0 Comments

Eat healthy bitch!

After a whole day of cleaning up and sorting clothes and two failed attempts at whipping cream-both times it curdled and went straight to the sink I was raving for something quick and easy

I found this recipe off someone's blog and it took me no more than 30 mins from preparing it to baking it

The original recipe was meant for 4 burgers but when I followed it thru it only fit in 3 burgers

So here goes the recipe for a tasty and flavorful chestnut mushroom burger

3 burger buns
1 onions finely chopped
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 buffalo tomato diced
3 tablespoon of fresh parsley finely chopped
Salt and coarse pepper to taste
Shredded emmentel, yancey's fancy buffalo wing cheese and Scottish mild cheddar (use any cheese you have this is what I had in my fridge)
1 tablespoon French baratte butter (again use any butter you have this is what I had sitting in my fridge)

1. In a pan heat butter and add the onion, garlic and tomato. Fry lightly. I fried for about 2 minutes on medium heat

2. Add in the parsley. Reduce heat to the lowest

3. I was lazy so I shredded on the pan straight the cheeses

4. Add the salt and pepper to your liking

5. Mix well

6. Wash the mushrooms, pat them dry with kitchen paper and put them upside down on the bun

7. Scoop the fried gooey stuff off your pan and fill up the hollow of the mushrooms

8. Close your bun, give it a quick press with your hand. It's OK if the access filling dribbles to the bun as long as it doesn't come out of the bun

9. Bake it at 180°C for 15 minutes

The burger after its round in the oven

My burger looks yellowish because I had added too much salt and to even out the taste I added a dollop of ceasar sauce

Here you can see I cut the burger in half to show you how the mushroom should be put on the bun; upside down

Vege Ham Burger Patties

Brocade Blue Monday, October 31, 2011 0 Comments

I woke up today rummaging thru an empty fridge. I was running low on food and had been rationing the damn fusili for weeks. But enough is enough, just because I am vacating this place doesn't mean I don't get to stock up on food, given how expensive eating out is in Cyber. I was in luck @Carrefour today, the vege ham looked fresh and the manufacturing date was last week! Wohoo! I missed preparing and eating burgers (they take so long to prepare and so fast to consume!) I forgot the order on where the salad and tomatoes go but managed to balance them out without the burger falling apart, only to have the cheese melt on the burger patty! In conclusion, the burgers were filling and they tasted good. To show you the goey-ness joy I had today that counted as lunch and dinner, here are some pictures. I finished it off with leftover orange slices and yoghurt drink

Burger for Dinner

Brocade Blue Thursday, September 17, 2009 0 Comments

Two nights back, I made burger patties from scratch. I had Googled the recipe online from some food blog I scoured. This after reading AHT for weeks and deciding to give it a try. Sadly it didn't turn out as well as I had expected. Maybe because I was tired and I started late. The recipe was altered from the original. I used too many beans and less potatoes, I substituted the US potatoes with Holland potatoes, which made the texture a bit yellowish and less gluey. The beans I had soaked overnight, it was still hard so I had to pressure cook it. I hate the way the dough looked like. It made a mess out of my kitchen and I was pissed the patties weren't sticking together. It kept breaking apart. I added more home-made butter to harden it (but of course it doesn't work that way, butter turns everything mushy) I even used up my grandmother's specially brought from UK butter. She was mad at me, but it was actually my aunt who smothered her butter all over the buns because I had used up all the home made butter for the patties.

The end result? Surprisingly my dad, my aunt and mum loved it. I didn't. Not even with Gouda, mustard, fresh tomatoes, ketchup, thousand island and chili sauce. I was still upset over the final result that I ate a bit of my burger and threw away the rest. Mum was upset when she saw the patties in the bin, she told me never to enter the kitchen again. Well sometimes, even the greatest chef makes mistakes. I could have done better but I was cooking alone and I had wanted my mum to come assist me but she wasn't at home. Everyone were at shop making money. I told Boby to get mum but no one did.

Well anyway, maybe I didn't like it because I had spent hours making those patties. But my cousin liked it. She said it was delicious and requested the recipe from me via Boby (I was in the house, mopped the kitchen and dining floors with so much soap, I had to mop 5x to get the soap off and the floors shone afterwards from too much scrubbing) Next time I will have to cut down on the measurement, and follow the exact recipe.

Here's some shots of my home made (was suppose to be spicy but didn't turn out spicy, my granma started adding dried grapes--kismis in the recipe, was too salty for her so she added a lot of sugar, diabetic old lady that one and I had to adjust it with paprika to bring back the flavor but it still didn't turn out right)

Drying the cubed carrot and defrost corns, left on towel to dry

Soaked, pressure cooked beans (kidney beans, canneli,pinto, etc)

Pressure cooked potatoes, mashed thru strainer

Onions, cumin powder, paprika, chili powder, salt and some other seasonings

Add in the mashed potatoes...

...and the carrots and corns...

...and the beans for a final touch, mix well to taste. I forgot to take the picture of blended corn flakes, those are used to hold the patties before frying them over the pan. The beans have to be cut smaller and add some "holding" ingredient like corn flour, biscuit flakes and or some chapatti flour. (Starchy rice can do also) I got greedy and made my patties thick, make your thin. Please use your hands to shape the patties. All the recipes about using molding this that junk almost never work 99% of the time.

Can you see the Gouda cheese sticking out? I loved the cheese and the sauce, the patty not so much. Upsetting this procedure. I messed up the whole kitchen. Oil and grease had stuck to my hair.
