Burgers

published by shanthu on Nov 7, 2009

The favourite fast food of the present generation, burgers cook to a moist, flavourful juiciness in the microwave. Try them for a quick snack or even a meal with soup and salad.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • ½ teaspoon gar-am masala
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Green chillies to taste, finely chopped
  • 500 grams minced meat
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • 8 burger buns
  • Some butter or cheese spread
  • 1 small cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1-1 ½ cups mayonnaise
  • Mustard, tomato sauce

OPTIONAL ADD-ONS:

  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Onions

METHOD:

  • Heat the oil at 100% power for 1 minute. Drop in the gar-am masala, garlic and green chillies. Cook at the same power for 1 minute 30 seconds.
  • Wash the mince well (it should not be very finely ground) and mix into it the flavoured oil, sauce and salt.
  •  Shape into 8 burger patties (about 3 ½’’ in diameter).
  •  Lay on the high rack. Preheat the oven at the MW + Convection setting (180 degrees + 100%) for 7 minutes, then put in patties and cook for 6 minutes.
  • Put a plate underneath to collect the drippings. Stand 3 minutes before checking for doneness and browning, cooking a minute more if needed.
  • If your oven does not offer combination cooking, cook at 100% power for 6 minutes, draining the patties after.
  • To assemble, slit the buns, spread with butter or cheese spread, then mustard on one half and tomato ketchup on the other.
  • Mix the cabbage with mayonnaise, slip in a patty and some cabbage. If you are using the tomatoes and onions, add these in too.
  • Press gently to seal. To reheat, Microwave at 100% power for 30 seconds per burger.

    That is one thing I miss a lot about living where I do in Korea, good hamburgers. Sure, I can go to Mickey D’s or Burger King for my burgers, but they are not the same.

    Good recipe here. Thanks for sharing.

    This seems to be another great meal to eat with plenty of cold beer to drink while watching football on television.
