Big Kahuna Burger

Burgers come in a hundred & one different styles. The only limit is your own imagination, granted though that some things you just don't put together on a burger, for example: chocolate & strawberries. Most things are good though & can bring great flavour to that big juicy burger. 

So tonight Sandra only wanted the standard style juicy burger: 

Hamburger Dressing

Salad

Red Onion

Cheese

Ketchup

No problem, quick & easy yet still satisfying exactly what she wanted. 

I on the other hand wanted to try something new, so I opted for the following on my burger:

Hamburger Dressing

Salad

Tomato

Red Onion

Cheese

Strong Mustard 

Sautéed Mushrooms & Sauerkraut 

Ketchup 

( With a side order of fries & roasted parsnips )

The end result was an awesome combination of flavours & definitely one I'll be trying again in future. 

In the words of Samuel L Jackson

"That is a tasty burger"

So I've be longing for some sweet sticky ribs all week & today was the day. I done it the lazy way with everything store bought, so quick & simple. 

I'll admit that my plate was stacked high with ribs, but I knew that when Maya got a sniff of the sauce she would get stuck in and help me out. 

Apart from getting the meatiest ribs you can find the only other thing to get right is the sauce, I know I can make a better sauce than any store bought bottle, but for saving time I bought the best (in my opinion) that is avalible here. 

Smokey, sweet and a great aftertaste. "The Sauce is the Boss!"

Sandra joked that I reminded her of a caveman with my bones & meat, at least I think she was joking. Either way the only thing I had on my mind was enjoying my caveman style "bones & meat". Maya did indeed give me some help, the two of us licking our fingers when done while making little caveman jokes between ribs. 

Messy, but so very worth it. 

Caveman out ;) 

Great taste doesn't have to cost much

So, another day and another new dish to test. It's been a while since we've had fish so it's a tasty salmon on the menu. 

Cracked Salmon Tortilla Roll

What you need:

Salmon fillet

Grated cheese

Créme fraiche

Minced ginger

Flour tortillas

Sundried tomatoes

Chargrilled seasoning

Sea salt & Black pepper

Mixed salad

This is dead simple to make:

Mix the minced ginger & créme fraiche together & put it in the fridge to chill. 

Heat two medium sized pans. In one pan add the salmon, sundried tomatoes, salt, pepper & chargrilled seasoning with a little olive oil. Cook on a medium/high heat for 3-4mins each side. 

In the other pan place a tortilla and add some grated cheese on top. When the cheese starts to melt remove the tortilla. Add a spoon of dressing that's been chilling in the fridge, a little mixed salad, then your salmon & tomatoes. Roll up the tortilla & cut it in half. Job done, tuck in & enjoy! 

Super tasty & enough to make four portions. All the above cost under 200kr & took 5mins to prep then 10mins to cook. 

Or if you think that costs too much then you can shop a packet of this soup for just 7kr. It makes four portions, just add water & heat. Maya has declared it as "the best ever".

So you see great taste doesn't have to cost much. 

Streetdogs. A tasty lunch that's cheap.

So I came across this during the week & thought I'd give it a try today. A good change up from your regular hotdog with ketchup & mustard, also very easy to make with plenty of room to experiment with ingredients.  

Here's what I used today:

Thick spiced sausages (mine were filled with cheese)

Yellow onion sliced thin

Sauerkraut 

Hot mustard

Ketchup

Mini flour tortillas

Fresh parsley

Salt & pepper

Butter

Directions:

Grill your sausages in a pan. 

Heat a little butter in a small pan & fry the onion & sauerkraut until golden, season with salt & pepper. 

Warm the tortilla bread then load it up with the grilled sausage & fried toppings. 

Add your ketchup & mustard to taste. 

Tear off bits of fresh parsley & garnish your food. 

Tuck in & enjoy your "Streetdogs".
