Cooking time: 20 minutes for menu Cooking schedule: see below for instructions
We normally don't eat buns with our burgers - mainly because it's too much food and We'd rather have more burger. But I like tomato and cheese on it..... Or in it. These work best with a basket as they don't stay together well. Or just be careful.
Inside-Out Burgers Preparation and cooking time: 20 minutes 12oz (360gr) ground beef ( mince)
1 medium - large tomato
4 slices fresh mozzarella, or other soft cheese
4 large or 8 smaller basil leaves
Cut 4 slices of tomato. Divide meat into 8 portions. Shape 4 thin patties about the size of the tomato slices. Place 1 tomato slice, 1 slice of mozzarella and 1 or 2 basil leaves on each patty. Shape 4 more thin patties and place on top. Oil hinged basket. Place patties in basket and secure. Cook on barbecue grill over direct heat for 3 - 4 minutes per side.
Sweet Corn Preparation and cooking time: 15 minutes
Nothing says summer like corn on the cob. We've tried roasting it and boiling it... and if I ever find a method that is better than plain old steaming I'll add it to the recipes....
6 ears sweet corn, go down to the garden and pick - or to your local farm stand
Butter
salt
pepper
Shuck corn. Bring an inch of water to boil in a large kettle with a steamer rack. Add corn, cover and steam 4 - 5 minutes after lid is too hot to touch (depends on how much corn you put in) or until done. Take 1 ear, slather with butter, salt and pepper. Eat. Repeat. Happy summer!
Fresh Peach and Berry Salad Preparation and cooking time: 10 minutes 1 cup fresh berries
1 - 2 peaches or nectarines
1 tbs sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla do not use if you are adding rum
4oz (125ml) Greek yogurt
Rinse peaches and berries. Stem and cut berries if needed. Cut peaches in half around pit and twist, gently. If the peaches are 'freestone' the halves will come apart easily. Slice. If they are 'clingstone' the halves will not budge and you'll have to cut the peach off the stone in chunks. Put fruit into a medium bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Stir gently. Mix yogurt and vanilla. Add to fruit and stir gently. Serve.
