> For dinner tonight I decided to make burgers without reference to a > recipe. they turned out very nice. For dinner tonight, I tried to follow Bob's recipie, but did things a little differently... 1/2 pound mince 1 small onion (non-red) 3 cloves of garlic 1 'packet' of coriander 2 teaspoons of cinammon 1 teaspoon of horseradish 2 teaspoons of ginger paste I picked up at tescos 2 teaspoons of salt I blended everything but the mince, and then mixed the resulting green paste in with the mince, and tried to make patties. At this point I realised they were going to be a little loose. I fried the first pattie in garlic flavoured olive oil. It disintergrated-ish ... but tasted sublime. I made the next pattie small enough to convincingly fit on a spatula, and this worked better. But the taste was a bit strong ... To my rescue, I'd managed to overboil some red split lentils, so I mixed in an equal amount of those to the amount of pattie mixture I had left, and used a small pattie. Almost perfect. A larger pattie was not to be though, and disintergrated. Disheartened, I added the rest of the lentils to the mix and just fried it with the green mince mixture. It was pretty nice, but a little dry... Maybe I should have tried mixing an egg in with the mixture to help it bind ... +Pete
