Surf and Turf Burger

Surf and Turf Burger recipe, eat well on universal credit

This was actually far from planned. We had a bit of salad in the fridge and the return time for me from stripping a large LED Screen was unpredictable. So I bought some cheep Mince, Lactose free Cheese and some Gluten free Buns. That would have made a pretty good burger. But on my way back from Coppergate I popped my head in at Tesco. King Prawns were on offer…… The Surf and Turf Burger was born…..  

General ingredients:-

(Feel free to use whatever you have in!)

Bread Buns (Gluten free for us)
Onions, Diced
Cheese (Laclose free here), sliced
Salad (Peas Shoots and Radish here)
Tomatoes, sliced
Pickles, Gherkins worked well
Mayonnaise
Tomato Sauce
Minced Beef (500g of 20% Fat mince was £1.29)
King Prawns
Garlic Butter (Actually DIY Garlic Margarine for us)

Method:-

(1) Mix the Minced Beef with a little Salt & Pepper and form into large Burgers by hand.
(2) Cut the Buns in half and toast a little under the grill.
(3) Grill the Burgers until they are pretty close to 75c in the thickest area. Turning to brown on eat side.
(4) Add the Cheese to the top of the Burgers and grill until the Cheese melts.
(5) Lightly fry the Prawns in Garlic Butter and set aside.
(6) Dress the top and bottom inners of the buns with Mayo, Tomato Sauce Onion, Salad and sliced Tomato.
(7) Assemble the Burger. Go all ‘Free Style’ we did!

It might look a total mess, but this was one of the best ‘Random’ Gourmet Burgers we’ve ever thrown together. Day 2 of Wimbledon Tomorrow, so when I get back we might batter and deep fry some Strawberries…. Yes I’m Joking!

Fish ‘N’ Chips

Back to a bit of a classic really. We don’t often have flaky Fish, in fact I think this is the first time in over four years. But we were kindly given some Cod and decided to do Cod, Chips Peas and DIY Tartar (Style) Sauce.

The Batter for the Fish was a variant of the Soda Water Tempura we’ve been tinkering with recently:-

Ingredients:-

Soda Water
Self Raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Salt & Pepper
Ground Turmeric

The Turmeric doesn’t add a great deal to the taste, but it does give an appealing golden brown colour to the batter once it has been fried.

Sue’s Take on Tartar Sauce might not be traditional as such, but it really worked and we had the ingredients in the cupboard.

Ingredients:-

Mayonnaise
Whole grain Mustard
Gherkins, very finely chopped
Capers, finely sliced
Lemon Juice
Fresh ground Black Pepper

Method:-

(1) Mix it up.
(2) Dip things in it….

Quick, easy and very tasty. There’s not even a lot of washing up to deal with – Bonus!
