MAKING BURGERS
And BreadCrumbs have mysteriously disappeared …
So, there I was…
I had done the garlic, onion and mushroom in margarine, in a pan, and had let the liquid cook off; put the mince in the mixing bowl and cracked sommer TWO eggs for moisture, and started to look for the breadcumbs… Nope, they had taken up their lodgings somewhere else, and I was in a bit of a panic, calling the café on the corner who stated that they were SOLD OUT, and it was already dark, and here in Gauteng (Get a gun land) I don’t venture out once the sun has set, alone anyways, and Hubby firmly stated after I came back in from scouring the neighbours’ flats for anyone at home with breadcrumbs, that it didn’t matter, and No, he wasn’t going to walk with me to the shops and why didn’t I use flour… Well, I almost died, but then, spied my packet of Cheese Curls, and thought, eh? What if that would work as a substitute… Decided first to go onto the net and found a couple of people who had also – through some weird Universal Decree – not had the convenience of breadcrumbs… nothing about Cheese Curls, though…
Determined to not succumb to mince, eggs and the mushroom mix served on rice or something, I mean, I wanted Hamburgers… I sauntered into my domain and crushed a quarter of the large packet and tipped it into the mince. It looked good. I added some grated cheese and flour (a large tablespoon or so) for good measure. I mean, flour is the main ingredient in bread… Logic… yeah…
I mixed it all together and then went through the painful task of taking the sticky mince mixture and patting it with the flour I’d poured onto my only “flour” working surface – my washing machine – and it started to look good… The frying pan had been dressed with oil and after it had heated up on high, I put it down to medium and proceeded to do my hamburgers.
I’ve just taken my first bite and am pleased as punch. My mushroom mix had been salted before while cooking, and I figured the Cheese Curls and the grated cheese had enough salt, so I hadn’t added any, but while frying the burgers, I had sprinkled some Aromat on the one side. Delicious. And soft. Just having my second bite… Yes, indeed, this is a good recipe… Will add pictures for your convenience… Mmmm… yes, definitely a darned good Universal reason for not noticing the escaped BreadCrumbs…
There you go… This works… Slow fried mushroom, cheese, onion, garlic burgers…
Always good wishes to you all
