From the Language of Food to the Dialect of Burgers 🍔 #DashOutSunday

Food is a universal language. And sandwiches are a common varying dialect of that language. They come in all shapes and sizes, with many different types of toppings, condiments and secret additions. All to form the ultimate stacked combination of the food pyramid that you can hold up in your hands. One of the staples of this concept is the burger and this Sunday we made our variant of that exact archetype of sandwich.

At first I invited my sister and her boyfriend over, because she was grilling me for a while to invite her for food. But word got out fast and my parents where on the list soon after. So we started prepping for 6 people. I usually don't have a fixed recipe for what goes on the burger, so we had a look around and decided this time we'd have sliced pickles, bacon and of course the burger as the main stackable items. Mayo, curry sauce and my homemade chili sauce would be the star condiments. My sister also found us some ciabatta bread for the buns, so that was nice and fancy.

First I prepared the minced meat. I had about 1 kg of minced meat, which is about 2 fairies and a leprechaun converted to the Imperial system. According to my religion of the order of the garlic clove, I had to add a nice percentage of garlic, obviously. Also some paprika powder and chili pepper powder. And if you're asking where the salt is, salt comes on the patties when you fry or grill them. Never put salt in the minced meat mixture beforehand, because that draws too much moisture out of the meat making it dry. Now you know how to get juicy burgers. :)

After it sat in the fridge for a while to take in that flavor, it was time to form the patties.

While that was happening, I fried the bacon.

When the guests arrived we somehow decided that tomatoes and a fried egg would also go nice on the burgers, so they bought that as well.

Chef @tanjakolader also made an amazing homemade garlic butter mix with garlic, butter and broad leaf thyme from our garden. This was spread on the buns before we grilled them in a pan. Forget to take pictures of those though. My mom also brought me a huge plastic bag of more spinach from their garden, which is awesome to use for many different recipes, especially breakfast.

Chopping up the pickles and tomatoes was also part of the culinary ritual.

I fried the eggs a bit nonchalantly. 😅

Finally after all that preparation it was time to fry the patties in the bacon fat we saved and construct the ultimate sandwich.

With our bellies full we had a few discussion on life, politics and the current situation in the country. And then it was time for the guests to leave before the curfew of 7PM went in effect.

This was part of the Dash Out Sunday culture in the ReggaeJAHM Community. Special shoutout to @dmilliz for starting the trend in the community.
