Whatever the weather may do this weekend, make time for some alfresco cooking as it’s National Barbecue Week.
We’ve got great ready-to-go options, including our gourmet, gluten free burgers, marinated chicken and pork and, of course, no less than 12 varieties of our famous sausages.
But if you’re like Mrs Buckingham Butcher, you may want to create your own burgers – and here are two cracking recipes to try this weekend.
TRADITIONAL BURGERS – Serves 4
You Will Need:-
500g Beef Mince
4 Shallots, finely chopped
2 Tsp English Mustard
1 Large Egg Yolk
25g Breadcrumbs
What To Do:-
Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl. Divide into four equal portions and shape into burger patties. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before cooking on a griddle or on the BBQ.
THAI STYLE CHICKEN BURGERS – Serves 4
You Will Need:-
4 Chicken Thighs, skin and bone removed
2 Chicken Breasts, skin removed
3 Cloves Garlic, roughly chopped
4 Spring Onions, roughly chopped
Thumbsize Piece of Ginger, roughly chopped
½ Small Bunch Coriander, chopped
2-3 Tbsp Fish Sauce
What To Do:-
Put the garlic, spring onions and ginger in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the chicken, coriander and fish sauce and pulse again until well combined. Use wet hands to shape into four patties, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Alternatively, you can shape into 12 patties and shallow fry, serving with noodles, stir fry veg and sweet chilli sauce.
