Hazel Nuts in a Stir-Fry

We have a local Hazel Tree which is not the victim of the Squirrels. It’s actually just within the grounds of a student accommodation enclosure. It’s on a bank so the nuts roll towards the footpath and the students, seemingly, have no idea what a Hazel Nut is unless it’s covered in chocolate.

So at this time of year it’s a win-win for us. We’ve tried a few bits and bobs with them. ( They are here ) This recipe worked really well. The lightly toasted Nuts take on the flavours of the Garlic and Ginger, while still having their characteristic sweetness.

If you’re awash with Hazel Nuts and are willing to spend a bit of time toasting and bashing them, this is well worth the effort!

Mini Monster Turkey Burgers with Chilli Sauce

When we have a burger it’s usually an opportunity for mischief and we often end up creating some remodelled “Monster Burger” So as Sue only had ½ a home made Gluten free bun in the freezer we though we should behave and go for the “Mini Monster” version. We still didn’t eat it all. Burger for breakfast it is then!!!!

The Burgers were in the discount at £1.35 for 4. They were labelled “Thai Chilli”. Well who knows? Sue made a Chilli sauce.

Ingredients:-

Tomato Puree
Tomato Sauce
White Wine Vinegar
Fresh ground Black Pepper
Incredibly hot Chilli flakes we bought at the Continental Shop…..

We used our now memorised and almost automated Bhaji batter for the Onion Rings:-

Ingredients:-

100g Gram flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp Chilli flakes
1 tsp ground Cloves
½ tsp Turmeric
Salt

The Burgers themselves had Mayo on the bun base, Salad, Gherkins, a Burger topped with Bacon, a little Chilli Sauce and melted Cheese. With the Burger repeated and then the bun lid added. The Skewer was needed or the whole thing would have collapsed, but the Onion ring on top was just for fun!

Served with a few home cut chips this whole creation was probably less than £3 for both of us…..
