Burgers

[tomek]

Here is my way of doing burgers. 

0.5 lbs of baby portabella mushrooms. Chopped. 

 

 

[tomek]

0.5 lbs of mini peppers. Chopped. 

 

 

[tomek]

2 small yellow onions. Swimming goggles. You know why. Chopped.

 

 

[tomek]

It all goes to frying pan. Olive oil. 

 

 

[tomek]

So, while that is getting cooked I prepare the rest. 2 lbs of absolutely evil beef. Organic from Aldi. 5 bucks with change per pound. 

 

 

[tomek]

Two eggs and some condensed milk. I mixed with help of trusty Ninja. Just couple seconds and it is ready.

And the rest. Garlic, ground flexseed, bread crumbs, whatever barbecue sauce happened to be in fridge, etc. And salt. Couple months ago I noticed I would piss any fluids almost immediately after drinking. After careful consideration I realized my salt intake was simply too low. So.

The first three ingredients are still not ready, let me address potential hearing loss.

And, of course, Rammstein. Absolutely the best music for wrenching and cooking.

It is ready. I'm gonna drain excess olive 🫒 oil and mix everything together. 

 

 

[tomek]

Well, all ready for grilling. Gonna let it sit overnight in fridge. Bone Appetit.

Forgot to mention. While cooking I finished off bottle of cheap Moldavian fake champagne. Taste was actually pretty good for 5.99, but bubbles where fake.

Sure is a lot of work for a burger .  Where is the finished burger pic?  It's like watching a car restoration show and not seeing how it turns out. 🙂

Looks amazing. I was thinking at first you were making a veggie burger. Looks like a perfect Sunday afternoon. 
 

I'm with a large group of friends at a friends Mexican restaurant. He opened it about 2 years ago and if you don’t get a seat at

least 2 hours before the games start - the place will be wall to wall people until

closing. 
 

AF Spicy Hibiscus 🌺 Margarita. Sooooooo good !!!!

Peel, cut however you wish, leave the root section till the very last cut and you won't need goggles.

Taught to me by a Mexican prep cook in the Casa Maria restaurant. Amazing how fast he could dice onions.

Finished product? Like in toilet bowl? 😀 

 

 Well, the thermometer in my outside grill went kaput courtesy of subzero temps, so it went less than perfect. I got some carbon. 😆

 Normally I grill 4 minutes on one side, then flip it over and stick probe in the middle of burger, and keep grilling till it goes to about 140. 

 Initial temperature was too high and they got burnt on one side. Still, taste great. 

 

Next time.

Um no. Like formed into a paddy and what it looked like grilled. My wife does a similar mix of pre chopped Ingredients mixed in the meat…however, the process does not seem like a common thing here.

 Since someone can't grill a burger without technology (🙂), let's see your wife's.  😀

Technically those more like cutlets then burgers, but latter have like too much, well, meat for my taste.

 

Will post pics next time, burnt or, hopefully, not.
