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!

Air Fryer Ribs recipe, eat well on universal credit

We intentionally bought these Pork Ribs for the recipe. So no yellow sticker gig going on last night!

Ingredients:-

600g of Pork ribs. These came as a rack, so I just cut it in half between two ribs
Oil to Fry
Salt & Pepper to season

Marinade Ingredients:-

½ An Onion, finely diced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
3 Tbsp of Tomato Ketchup
1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce ( Gluten free in our case )
2 Tbsp of Henderson’s Relish
1 Tsp of Hot Chilli Jam sauce

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onions in a little oil on a low heat to soften.
(2) Add the Garlic and fry for a further minute.
(3) Add the Tomato Puree and stir in.
(4) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(5) Add the Ketchup, Soy Sauce, Henderson’s and Hot Chilli Jam and allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
(6) Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
(7) Coat the Ribs on both sides with the sauce, making sure that they are coated evenly.
(8) Place in the fridge for 2 hours or so.
(9) Heat the Air Fryer to 180c and cook the Ribs for 10 minutes.
(10) Increase the temperature to 190c and cook for a further 5 to 7 minutes, depending in the thickness of the Ribs.
(11) Remove and cover to rest.

To be honest we might be trying to ‘Boil Eggs in a solar oven in Iceland’ here. We’ve had much better Ribs cooked long and slowly in the conventional oven. However the was really good.
