Building a Burger

[Herbie]

Husband''s preference is:
Soft white bun
Butter
Lettuce
Thinly sliced tomato
Thickly sliced pickle gherkin (enough to cover the whole bun)
Thin slice of rubbery cheese
2 slices of streaky bacon
Beef patty (peppery ones - he likes the coop ones)
Medium dollop of rich tomato sauce.

Soft white bun

Is there such a thing in the land of gluten free? The use of butter is unusual - at least I think it is. I've certainly never come across it before.


Do any other members butter their burger buns?

That was his dream burger.

In reality a substandard white bread bun like product.

I lightly butter the bun, then toast it - butter side down - for a bit to crisp it up a bit. You can see the line of butter along the edge of the top half of the bun, and a little bit on the bottom half.

And now, we have the fruits of my Sunday barbecue: a burger that was 25% New York Strip, 25% Sirloin, and 50% chuck steak, stacked on top of homemade (Middle Eastern) pickles, turmeric pickled onions, and a fresh tomato. I forgot how much I love a real beef burger. I didn't make the tater tots, but I wish I had. So, my diet took a little break.

Interesting.

Mighty, meaty, magnificence - and as I said elsewhere, I love the pickles.

I can't remember ever buttering a burger bun. Nor a hot dog bun.

Very good presentation. Not convinced about the content.

This certainly does make it look appetizing. Is it dry? Whenever I have a low fat (or no fat, in this case) treatment, I know I need to do something so it survives the heating process without being like a mouthful of sawdust (I've had experience with clever ideas to trim all the fat from chicken and beef before grinding, and I know that this is an issue).

Its not at all dry. I promise. I must post the recipe... I have a backlog!

I'm intrigued. My favorite healthy mixer for savory things that may be dry is chopped mushrooms. I'm certainly open to new ideas, though.

A variation on the previous vegan burger using vegan soy mince instead of beans:



I liked this helicopter shot!

But here is possibly my best burger shot to date. To see how it was set up see here.

Something like this?

Yes, that’s the one! Try picking that up and half of it never makes it off the plate. The other half ends up down the front of your shirt.
