The "Alburger"

[Allan at Wallan]

My own concoction which was a real success when I had
a hamburger/fish and chip shop. Regular customers would
come from miles around to get them.

Get your butcher to make up some mince (preferably
about 60% beef and 40% lamb).

Use about a half kilo of mince.
Place into a bowl.
Add 2 eggs, a tablespoon of breadcrumbs, a teaspoon
of oregano, a couple of shakes of mixed spices.
Mix thoroughly by hand then shape into a ball by
pounding between each hand.

Slice up some onion and red Jalapeno chillies and
mix them together.

Place the meat on the hotplate and flatten to about
1 cm thick and 14 cms diameter. Lightly sprinkle hot
chilli powder on the meat. Begin cooking the onions and
chillies at the same time as the meat.

Take a sliced soft bun and toast it lightly under the
griller of your stove. Add a touch of margarine to the
inner surfaces of the bun, add lettuce, the burger
pattie, the onions and chillies and hot chilli sauce,
pepper and salt. (I always used Maggi Hot Chilli Sauce).

Guaranteed to warm the cockles of your heart.
And remember, chillies are no good unless they
burn twice - if you know what I mean.

What no garlic

What no garlic


No Ray, dont spoil a good "Alburger" by using
garlic. I forgot to include the fact that when you
cook the onion and chillies together they give off
a pungent odour that literally takes your breath away.

I had about 15 factory workers in my shop when I was
cooking three Alburgers on the hotplate. They took off
like rabbits when they got a sniff of them.

I had one customer, a local Council worker, who decided
to try one of my Alburgers and I only made it medium
strength for him to try. The following night he came to
the door of my shop and bellowed out, "He tried to kill
me, he tried to kill me with a hot hamburger". The factory
workers thought it was hilarious. Of course the customer
kept coming back to our shop but never again for an
Alburger. He was a delight to have as a customer and
we shared many laughs over that incident.
