The Buffy Burger

Burger with stacks of garlic and some bite in teh toppings.
Miced beef (duh), garlic, caramalised onions, lemon mayo, horseradish, BBQ sauce, iceberg lettuce and chopped tomatoes.

Makes 4
4 big burger buns
600g prime miced beef (go to the markets, cheaper, better)
1 onion chopped for mince
4 cloves garlic (yep really) crushed for mince
2 sliced onions for caramalising
8 tablespoons lemon mayo - 2/bottom bun.
8 tablespoons horseradish cream - 2/top bun. (go on, add wasabi, you know you want to)
BBQ sauce, lettuce and tomatoes - however much on top of burger.

If you're like me and have never caramalised onions before you just cook them on a low/medium heat for 30 mins without burning (too much). Put a lid on too. Watch carefully, stir often.

Lemon mayo I just mix 2 parts lemon juice and 3 parts mayonnaise - or to taste.

Serve with
Furstenburg beer - $40/carton

Spicy BBQ’d Chicken with Tahini and Yoghurt Sauce

500-700g Chicken (thighs-no skin-are good for this)
2 Tblspn Olive oil
2 Tblspn Lemon juice
1 Tblspn Garlic–chopped v fine or crushed (Whoa!! don't try to pick up after this)
1 tspn Salt
½ tspn Cinnamon* optional - I give it a miss most times
½ tspn Chilli powder/flakes
1 tspn Paprika
½ tspn Garlic - crushed (extra for yoghurt)
1 cup Plain/Natural Yoghurt
½ cup Tahini
1 Tblspn Coriannder – chopped fine

Bok bok:
Chop chicken into medium pieces (4cm x 8cm) also score the flesh then put into a large bowl..
In a blender (or with a stick mixer) combine; garlic, salt, cinnamon, chilli powder, paprika and ½ of coriander. Add olive oil, mix and then in the bowl, rub this mix into the chicken pieces well. Don’t spill this stuff it will not come off!! Leave the chicken in the mix for 30 minutes or more.

Saucy:
Combine; yoghurt, tahini, crushed garlic and rest of coriander. Last of all gently mix in the lemon juice and keep cool until time to serve.

Cooking with gas:
Can be cooked in a hot pan but a cranking BBQ is best. Thighs - 1st side 3 mins, 2nd side 2 mins. Breasts – 2 mins each side.

Chow down:
Serve the bok bok warm with a generous saucy dob on top!! Whack a bit of salad on the plate and have a good beer, semi/sauv or even reisling riding shotgun… Yummm

they sound yummy,
the Greek Salad is a much loved dish at all Aussie BBQs.

3 oz Kalamata olives
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1/2 lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Mix the cucumber, capsicum and feta with the tomatoes, onion, lettuce, olives and parsley in a bowl. Whisk lemon juice, salt and pepper together. Add oil and whisk well. Toss dressing through the salad.

For afters...

Pavlova

4 egg whites
pinch of salt
250g castor sugar
2 tsp cornflour
1 tsp white wine vinegar
few drops of vanilla
cream
fruit like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, mango or whatever you reckon would taste good.

Preheat over to 180C
Beat egg whites & salt until satiny peaks form (that is they just fall over when you take the beaters out)
Beat in sugar, a third at a time, until stiff and shiny
Sprinkle in cornflour, vinegar and vanilla and fold lightly

Spread onto oven tray lined with baking paper within 20cm radius circle and smooth tops & sides.
Place in oven and reduce temprature to 150C. Bake for 1 – 1.25 hr (depending on your oven)

Turn oven off and leave pav to cool completely. Leaving the oven door slightly open

About 45 mins before serving, turn upside down and top with whipped cream & fruit. This gets the cream right into the middle to make it extra tasty.

Serve with whatever booze is still going on the table / in the esky

Watch out for your guests going for seconds - leaving none to snack on when everyone has gone home.

No problems with doubling the mixture and having the same cooking time, as long as you leave in the oven to cool. Just spread out the mixture a bit more on the tray.

How do you BBQ that?

I think the great Ozzy afters is a huge fart and trying to crack onto the resident cutey (not neccesarily in that order).

BTW Diver I am trying so hard not to make a comparison with Pavlova and the dockers (you know looks hard on the outside but is really sweet then crumbles and caves in). Well.. I did try until your 2nd post at least.

Ha ha - I'll beat you to it and garauntee the Eagles never run out of ice at their BBQs!! Run out of the car maybe.. but NEVER ice.

And those guys dont even play for the Dorkers anymore..

You could serve it with the dolphin if you like BBQ salad with dolphin fillets hehe....oh and shark fin soup nearly forgot

marinade ya steak with a good splash of Jack Daniels for 30 min before throwing on the BBQ!

Wow I bet you could do that with dolphin fillets, could you use wild turkey as well?

Yo Diver,

Nah I managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory Convincingly so in fact. Still dunno how I managed to drop out of the prize money.. A lot like 2005 (and Bennie) I thought I had it in the bag

Still if your gonna bring around a cpl o' kgs of those yummy prawns you are welcome any time. BTW wifey is a mad (emphasise mad in every respect) Dockers fan so she will be stoked. I'll just av ya prawns and point you to the chardy.

Or Baby Seal

Oh I love seal, harder to catch than dolphin tho

I'd like to throw the ol Seal's missus over the BBQ!

That's a pity Funky, as I would have travelled to that remote part of the metro area north of McCabe Street Mosman Park to celebrate your win.

As for Seal's Mrs, she called in for some prawns and pav whilst hubby was doing some concert in Perth recently. Suitably yet modestly dressed for afters...

Personally i don't go in for super mo-dels but I make an exception for the Yummy Klummy.

Melon and strawberry salad anyone?

Ha ha - remote wilderness Nth of Mozzy Pk. Nice one Diver.

I have a long suffering mate from the desperate, darkest depths of WA - somewhere around Freo - who buys a regional map to come visit my place in the exotic Nthn suberbs. He likes seeing attractive women with their one teeth while he's in the area.

Being an inaugeral member and there after, he was spewing to find memberships have gone up again and thinks the membership $$ should be performance based. LOL! Great idea I reckon. The old system definately hasn't worked. He will be sure to save a heap in future also.





Er... anymore BBQ recipes anyone? If not more shots of Yummy Klummy pears would be nice.

Do u wanna send Windtechno a message and tell him where that beach is?
