With a Big Mac Pattie Whack

29th September 2011 - Sarah's Vege Burgers

After more than a week off to recover from the Finger Food Feast  it was time to get back in the kitchen! I had cooked some Mars Bars Slice (also Sarah's recipe) for my little Midge and The Pig, but it was so insanely easy I didn't think it should count. So, I finally decided to try Sarah's Vege Burgers.

I was thinking about these burgers and psyching myself up all day, but by the time the day actually ended... I didn't really feel like them. I was determined, so still cooked them, they just weren’t actually burgers as I didn't feel like bread.

There was nothing too complex in this recipe, it was simply a matter of getting everything ready and combining the ingredients. I was slightly skeptical about the whole thing, but once I'd mashed the chickpeas and combined the ingredients it was starting to look good! The recipe accidentally omitted to tell me when to add the egg and the ingredients list didn't mention bread crumbs, but I'm now THAT good at cooking that I sorted it out! Perhaps not quite as well as I could have, as absolutely fell apart in the pan, but presentation isn't everything... I love food that looks like vomit!

 I think that I had the pan too hot as some of them burnt a little, but that could have been because I was somewhat distracted. When I say burnt a little, I mean they burnt enough that the smoke detector went off. And when I say distracted, I mean I was watching Toy Story 3.

Anyway, I had sweet potato and salad with the patties which was delicious and I had mayonnaise instead of sweet chilli sauce. I was very happy with both of these decisions.

It was a great night and I was well spent so headed for bed. It was until I got there, that I discovered it was only 7.30 and realised what a loser I was. So, being hardcore I stayed up and watched The Bachelorette until I could feel confident going to bed at 9pm. Still a loser.

Tips: Don't have the pan too hot and add more breadcrumbs or egg or whatever it is that makes them stick together.
