I actually made these last week but I didn't take a picture so I didn't blog it. As a result my memory of what exactly I put in them is slightly vague but I'll do my best. The ones I photographed were frozen last weekend when I made them. Which proves they can be frozen.
Shit you need:
Makes 4 burgers
500g minced beef
Half an onion, finely chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
Fish Sauce
Worcester Sauce
Beef Stock cube (ground)
Onion Salt
Rosemary (or other seasoning)
1/4-1/2 cup of plain flour
MOTHER FUCKING FOOD PROCESSOR
How its done:
Feed in the beef into the food processor along with the onions and garlic about a quarter at a time, giving it a wiz and taking it out once its mixed, unless you have a huge food processor and you can fit it all in at once. I really have to say this is much better done with a food processor. If you don't have one your kitchen is incomplete. If you don't have one you may need to add an egg to help it bind later.
Once its mostly ground add the onion salt, stock cube and seasoning. Mix again adding a decent splash of Worcester sauce and Fish Sauce. You do not have to add the flour if it appears to be holding together relatively well or bulky enough. It really depends on the mince you have and the food processor. And how finely you chopped the onion.
Mold the mix into 4 patties (or 8 if you want normal baby sized burgers). Here's a good trick. Make an indent about a cm deep in the middle with your thumb. This will make the burgers come out flatter when you cook them as they tend to rise in the middle.
I'd actually recommend cooking these in a hot oven (about 200 celcius) on a baking tray rather than baking them. This will ensure burgers of this size will cook right through. I made some wedges with them so I already had a hot oven ready to go. Cook for about 15 minutes. I did them with Stilton, which is awesome and you can see them in the pictures.
They are a bit filling and I just ate one so I need a meat nap. Blog out.
