A couple of weeks back, I made another recipe from my card collection, and it completely doesn't balance the fact that I've accumulated another batch of recipe cards already.
This card is from Waitrose and turned out to be a rather good one. The original recipe is here, but I made some changes as usual.
Ingredients
4 portions
4 Portabello mushrooms
3 carrots
2 courgettes
2 large cloves of garlic
2 red chillies
1 stick of lemon grass
20 g fresh coriander
salt and pepper
8 salad onions
500 g lean beef mince
25 g sesame seeds
toasted sesame oil
1 Romaine lettuce
Method
- Peel and chop the mushrooms, carrots and courgettes and set aside.
- Pre-heat the oven to 100 degrees and place an oven-proof dish to heat up inside as well.
- Peel, wash and cut into chunks as appropriate the garlic, chillies, lemon grass, coriander and 5 of the onions.
- Place the garlic, chillies, lemon grass, coriander and onions into a blender along with salt and pepper and blend until smooth.
- Mix the paste together with the mince and make 12 - 14 patties.
- Heat up a little sesame oil in a large pan and fry the patties, making sure not to crowd them. Fry just enough to give them a nice colour, then transfer to the oven to keep warm.
- Heat some more sesame oil if needed and stir fry the mushrooms carrots and courgettes until they soften.
- In a small dry pan, toast the sesame seeds. Slice the remaining 3 salad onions finely.
- Serve the patties on a bed of Romaine lettuce with the stir fried vegetables on the side and sprinkle the sesame seeds and onions over them.
These turned out to be really tasty and with a good kick to them. They were also so very easy to do, no need to make the mixture on the night before to allow the flavours to develop, so a great recipe for weekday night. And we managed without the carbs too.
Actually there were a lot more stir fried vegetables than beef patties, I had them for lunch a couple of times on their own.
