Hamburger


Instructions
  1. Combine all the Beef Patty ingredients in a bowl. Use your hands to mix until everything is incorporated.

  2. Split the mince into 4 balls and flatten into patties, make them slightly larger than the hamburger buns (they will shrink when cooking).

  3. Let the patties rest in the fridge for a minimum of 15 minutes.

  4. Heat oil in a large heavy-based pan over high heat, or a BBQ. Place patties in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the underside is browned. Flip the patty and cook the other side for 1 minute.

  5. Then place a slice of swiss cheese on each Beef Patty, cover with a lid and cook for a further 1 minutes until the cheese has melted. Note cooking time may vary depending on your patty thickness and pan or BBQ heat.

  6. Remove Beef Patties from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes.

  7. Meanwhile, add the pineapple slices to the hot pan or BBQ and let them caramelise on both sides then remove from the heat. You can lightly toast the hamburger buns (optional).

  8. Finally to assemble, spread the BBQ sauce on the bottom hamburger bun. Add a slice of Cheddar cheese (it will melt with the heat of the beef patty) Then place the patty on top. Follow by adding the grilled pineapple, fresh red onion, beetroot slices, tomato slices and lettuce. Lastly just spread tomato sauce on the bun and place on top. Enjoy your Downunder Deluxe!

Ingredients
Roulade
Stuffing
Instructions
  1. Preheat fan forced oven at 190C°
  2. Start by preparing the stuffing. Cook bacon in a large fry pan over medium heat until it crisps. Add mushrooms, spring onions, parsley and thyme and sauté for 5 minutes. Pour wine into pan; simmer until wine evaporates, roughly 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, discard thyme sprigs and stir in bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper and allow it to cool.
  3. Place the butterflied breast on a board and add a film of plastic wrap on top. Pound the meat with the smooth side of a mallet and create an even thickness, roughly 2-3cm, be careful not to rip the turkey in the process. Remove the plastic wrap and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Cut a square of baking paper the length of the turkey. Line up middle bacon pieces alternate, making sure they overlap and set it aside ready for wrapping turkey breast.
  5. Scoop the filling and scatter in the centre of the butterflied turkey. Slowly roll the turkey breast, tightly tucking in the filling as you wind. Once the roulade is tightly secured, lay the turkey horizontally on the edge of the vertically lined up bacon. Use the baking paper to fold the turkey around the bacon, once it’s rolled, remove the baking paper. Use butcher’s twine to fasten the roulade before transferring it to the roasting tray.
  6. Cover the roulade with aluminium foil and roast for 1 hour. Remove the foil and allow the turkey to roast for a further 30 minutes or until turkey is cooked through.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow it to rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Keep drippings and carve 2-3cm thick slices and serve with the warm gravy.
