Friday
nights are usually “take-out” nights. But not necessarily by buying junk food,
by making it at home. For some reason, junk food made at home is much tastier,
and much more filling than the junk food you buy.
There is no
recipe for making a hamburger, though. Personally, I don’t like tomato sauce or
hot-dog mustard sauce, so I try my best to avoid it all times. I prefer mayonnaise,
chutney and decent mustard like Dijon or Hot English Mustard.
In making a
chicken hamburger, tomato sauce and hot-dog mustards are very much off limits.
Dead zone. Don’t even take it out of the cupboard. You use a white sauce, made
with mayonnaise, smooth cottage cheese and a little Dijon mustard.
You also
need to have lettuce, tomatoes, onion, buns (obviously, we like the hard
crusted ones for burgers) and chicken patties. I prefer to buy the chicken
fillets, not the chicken patties. I find it tastier and more… authentic. O, and
cheese. Always, cheese.
Lucky for
me, this is my blog with all my opinions, feel free to disagree and make your
hamburger your OWN!!
Ingredients:
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Onion
Buns
Chicken
Fillets or Patties
Smooth
Cottage Cheese
Dijon
Mustard
Cheddar
cheese, grated
Method:
Spread the
buns with margarine/butter.
Mix 2tbs mayonnaise, 1tbs smooth cottage cheese and ½t Dijon mustard. (Make more depending on how many burgers, and feel free to tweak the proportions to your taste!) Spread one half of the bread generously with the sauce. Add tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the onion and the lettuce. Fry the
patties in oil or bake in the oven, as per package instructions. Add to the
bun. Add cheese to your liking.
Serve with
onion rings.
And enjoy!!!
