Burgers
Makes 4 burgers
Ingredients
1kg lean minced beef
50g chopped red onion
100g suet
25g finely chopped gherkins
15ml bottles of Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves of garlic – chopped
½ bunch chopped parsley
Salt and pepper
Method
Mix all ingredients and split mix into 4 equal parts.
Mould into a burger shape and cook.
Can be pan-fried or oven-baked.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with dumplings, add your own flavours to compliment your dish!
Don’t overwork suet or you will risk your recipe becoming oily. The final dough should be slightly speckled, with the pieces of suet still visible rather than fully mixed.
Add suet as a final ingredient to your dumplings for fluffiness.
If you prefer your dumplings crisp, part bake them until lightly brown before adding to your stew.
Dumplings can disintegrate in boiling liquid, only add them to simmering dishes.
In recipes using self-raising flour, don’t fill the basin/bowl more than ¾ full to allow room for rising.
