About Me

I've been an avid fan of food and cooking as long as I can remember, learning so much from my mother and grandmother throughout the years! I actually find the whole process of preparing and cooking a great-tasting, healthy meal, quite therapeutic!! Cooking allows me to be as creative and adventureous as I like, and allows me forget about the realities of the world around me. There's something so rewarding about producing great food and sharing it with great friends, family and now with you too!!!

Chicken, Cumin and Corriander Burgers

These chicken burgers are absolutely delicious, healthy and enjoyable - white meat - whether it's chicken or Turkey, is much more lean and more fat free than red meat - so poultry is always a good, sensible and wholesome choice!




What you'll need:

4 medium chicken breasts
1 small white onion
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 tablespoon water
1 egg ( preferably free range )
50g wholemeal breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon corriander seeds or ground corriander
pinch sea salt and black pepper

So here comes the culinary science:

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Form the afore-mentioned mix into burger patties and place the patties in a ceramic baking try or dish.
Add 3 - 4 tablespoons of water ( this will keep your burgers amazingly tender and succulent )
Place the burgers in a preheated gas oven at 180 C / 350 F / Gas 4, and cook either side for 10 - 15 minutes - depending on your preference!

Serve the burgers with home-made coleslaw of carrots, cabbage and celery in an olive oil vinaigrette.
