...so for last night's family movie night...we changed up our pizza routine a bit...and made burgers and fries...
...these veggie burgers are so good and so simple...just vital wheat gluten - 1/3 cup, TVP burger crumbles - 1/4 cup, and a Tablespoon of vegan beef flavored bouillon...easie peasie...
...just mix the dry ingredients and reconstitute the TVP with an equal amount of water...
...and then mix the wet and dry ingredients...
...I do this with my hands...it's just easier as this is a pretty stiff concoction...
...then get some olive oil hot over medium high heat...
...shape the burger mixture into patties...it'll make two good sized burgers...
...and then put those into the hot oil to fry...
...and move on to the French Fries...I've posted about how I make
crispy and delicious home fries before...
...first of all...you'll need your
Grandma's Veg-O-Matic...just kidding...but somehow slice your fries as evenly as possible...
...and don't forget your burgers...give those a turn when they're nicely browned on one side...
...test your hot oil...
...it's ready when it sizzles immediately when you drop in a potato...
...not sure if par-fry is a proper word...but you will partially fry the potatoes...
...and take them out before they are 'done'...
...this sets the starch...and they can wait a while in this state before the final fry up...
...keep an eye on your veggie burgers...and take them out when they are nicely browned on both sides...
...and finish par-frying all your potatoes...I usually make one medium/large potato per person...and it's usually a little bit too much...
...now you're ready for the final fry-up...
...fry until golden and crispy...perfect...
...get your veggie toppings ready...
...and assemble your burgers...making sure to include a
dill pickle spear...
...SO DELICIOUS!...I wish I had one now...
...and we watched
Inspector George Gently...recommended by Maureen after we finished all of Poirot...we really like it...Thanks Maureen!
...do y'all ever eat in front of the tv?...what are you watching when you do?
~Have a lovely weekend!
You are very welcome, George Gently is set in an interesting time when the country was changing rapidly.
ReplyDeleteThe Veg-O-Matic reminded me of a wedding present which made chips - which is what we call French fries. I used it regularly because chips are a tasty treat when living on a budget and our newly married budget was as tight as a Victorian corset!
I can also recommend 'Endeavor'.
ReplyDeletewow, that just looks terrific!!! fun to use the veg-o-matic!!
ReplyDeletelove, k
Your burger and fries look yummy. I do love well made fries. It's so nice that you and your family make time to spend together. So soon Scout will be on his own.
