Just a quick burger
blog for you. I thought I’d give this one a try, we knew we wanted burgers
tonight but what kind? Chilli burgers? Bacon and cheese? Sun-dried tomatoes and
pesto? So many options. Wandering past the fish counter I suddenly thought ‘surf
and turf’. Lobster was a bit rich and prawns would be all over the place so I went
straight for the seafood sticks. Mayo or ketchup? How about both, marie rose
sauce it is then. Topped with a few slices of avocado and fresh rocket, you’ve
got yourself a tasty treat.
TIP. You always see
chefs peeling avocados then cutting them up. If you want to save on mess, cut
the avocado in half, remove the stone and then use a table knife to cut strips
into the avocado. Do not cut through the skin. Then, use a dessert spoon and curve
it under the skin of the fruit and you’ll get clean slices of avocado to use. Pour
a little lemon juice over then to stop them oxidising and going brown.
To make a quick marie-rose
sauce use a large dollop of mayo with a squirt of ketchup mixed with a little
bit of Worcester sauce and lemon juice, season to taste and start building your
burger. Seafood sticks cost next to nothing and you can buy avocados
individually so you don’t have to spend the earth to try something new.
