Salmon Burger With Cocktail Sauce#FishFriday

I am big fan of fish burger, love the McDonald's Filet O Fish. When we visited Ice Land I ordered a big fat salmon fish burger. I went to take a bite the fish filet just slides from the bun to the ground ( can't forget the incident), I cried, but ordered a another one and enjoyed having it.😂 
Making this salmon fish burger was a real pleasure. This is a perfect and filling meal for one. It's so satisfying to have a crispy fat fish burger, freshly made with fresh ingredients.

Serves One
Ingredients

150 Grams Boneless & Skinless Salmon - cut into small cubes
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
1 Green Chilly - minced
A few drops of Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Fresh Bread Crumbs
1 Teaspoon Chopped Flat Parsley
1 Teaspoon Chopped Coriander leaves
¼ Teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1 Tablespoon Scallions- only white part - finely chopped
A Dash Black Pepper powder
A Dash Paprika powder
1 Small Clove Garlic - finely chopped
Sea Salt to taste
For the coating
Rice Flour or Corn Flour - I used rice flour
Panko Breadcrumbs as required
1 Small Egg - lightly beaten
Oil as required for frying
For the Cocktail Sauce
2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon Hot Sauce
A Dash Lemon juice
1 Teaspoon Chopped Coriander leaves or Parsley
1 Teaspoon Finely Chopped Gherkins/Pickled Cucumber
1 Teaspoon Finely Chopped Dill Leaves
2 Leaves Romaine Lettuce
Sliced Tomato and Cucumber
Method
In a chopper add the onion, parsley, coriander leaves, green chilly, salt,, paprika and pepper powder, mayonnaise and bread crumbs, salmon cubes and pulse it two or three times ( the salmon should be in tiny cubes). Take this out into a bowl and add the lemon juice, mix well and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours for the flavors to develop and also at this stage it is difficult to handle. The mix will firm up in the fridge.
Remove from fridge and form into patty. Roll in rice flour and keep this in the freezer for 15 minutes only. 
Heat a non-stick pan/skillet with oil.
Beat an egg lightly add a pinch of salt.
In a plate spread the panko bread crumbs. Keep aside .
Take the cake out from the freezer.
Dip the cake in egg. Roll it in bread crumbs and immediately place it in the frying pan. Fry on medium high heat till golden on both sides, frying for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, adjusting the heat if necessary. Turn and cook until the other side is browned, Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
For the sauce
Mix all ingredients well sauce is ready. Keep this in the refrigerator to chill.
Arrange the buns, cut-side up, on a grill pan an toast them well for about one to two minutes. Apply cocktail sauce on both sides.  
Arrange the lettuce leaves, tomato slices. Then salmon patty on the bun; top with sauce, pickled gherkins and romaine lettuce,
sliced tomato and cucumber, with a sliced of cheddar cheese and some more sauce.
Enjoy!!

Ensaladilla Rusa#FoodieExtravaganza

Welcome to this month's event in Foodie Extravaganza {Party}. We are celebrating World Tapas Day our Host Juli Meyers asked us to prepare Tapas.
This traditional tapas is served throughout every region of Spain, with little variation. Ensaladilla Rusa is easy and simple Spanish salad , a version like the Russian Salad - except in this no fruits are added.  
This colorful salad is served at nearly every tapas bar; it is even served free at times with an order of alcohol.
Serves 3
Ingredients

1 Medium Potatoes - skinned and cubed
1 Carrot -  diced
1/4 Cup  Green Peas - I used frozen

1/4 Cup Chopped French Beans
1 Small Onion - chopped
1 Tablespoon Each Red & Green Bell pepper - diced
3 Tablespoons  
Pickled Gherkins /Dill Pickle - sliced
1 Tablespoon Capers
1 Hard Boiled Egg -  chopped
1/2  Cup Mayonnaise
1 Teaspoon Lemon juice
1/2 Teaspoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground Black Pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh Parsely, to garnish


Method
In a saucepan, cook the potatoes and carrot in lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer until almost tender. Fold in the peas and beans, and cook until all the vegetables are tender. Drain the vegetables and transfer them into a serving bowl. Add the onion, bell pepper, gherkins,  capers and egg slices.
In a separate bowl,  combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice and mustard  very well. Add this mixture to the serving bowl, mixing well to ensure all the ingredients are coated. Sprinkle with pepper and toss. 
Garnish with chopped parsley and dash of black pepper powder,  refrigerate. Serve this salad cold.
The remaining next day I filled in a crusty bread and had it for breakfast.. it tasted so ooo good.  Yummy..yum.

My Notes
 As any dish made with mayonnaise, ensaladilla should be refrigerated and will not keep for more than 1 to 2 days.

Pickled Gherkins /Dill Pickle#Improv

A wonderful, simple recipe for homemade refrigerator Butter & Pickles. No canning equipment required! Just prepare and refrigerate!

Ingredients 

7 - 8 Baby Cucumbers
1 Cup Water
1 Cup White Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Sea Salt
A Pinch Red Pepper Flakes
2 Big Gloves Garlic
2 Teaspoons Black peppercorns - coarsely ground
2 Teaspoons Yellow Mustard
2 Sprigs Fresh Dill 

Method 
Wash the cucumbers and dry them.
Place cucumber in a jar that just fits them.
 Heat water, vinegar, salt, crushed pepper flakes, garlic, black peppercorns, mustard seed and dill in a pan until salt has dissolved and mixture is simmering. Immediately pour brine over cucumbers. Cover with a lid and see that cucumbers submerged  and there is enough  liquid / brine  at the surface  of the jar . Wait at least 30 minutes before serving (do not drain brine). 

This Pickle can be stored in their brine in a sealed sterilized glass jar in the refrigerator for a month or more.
These are so addictive, sweet and salty - use them in burgers, salads, or with cold meats. Enjoy 
My Notes
You can slice the cucumbers too if you wish. I, make these small quantities and some times sliced them too.

Stuffed Mini Cheese Chicken Burger Buns#BreadBakers

Our family decided to go for a pilgrimage to Nasik Infant Jesus Church. We were 17 members travelling. It was decided that breakfast would be carried by us. My sister was deciding what each one could bring. When she asked me what I could bring, instantly these burger buns came to my mind, since this was on my to do list for quite long.  These  buns are one bite and since there were plenty of breakfast items,  I, thought these would be just right. But,was wrong in my thinking. These were in great demand, sadly, made just one each. 
These buns are proofed overnight in the refrigerator. Baked them early in the morning. Depending on the size, mine took around 18 to 20 minutes to bake at 200 degrees C. Made one only cheese filling for my hubby dear, rest all were with mini chicken patties. For making these the yeast quantity I reduced to half, wanted these to rise slowly and this worked wonderfully. The buns rose perfectly in the refrigerator. I placed them in the refrigerator at 5 pm in the previous day and baked them at 5.30 am the next morning.

Carried the buns in the tray itself and passed on the tray for each to pull one. These were soft, light, delicious and fun to eat. The secret ingredient to make these buns soft, light and delicious is mashed potato. You must try these.
Ingredients
For the patties 
600 Grams Chicken Mince
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Red Chilly Flakes
1 Teaspoon Garam Masala powder
8 Green chillies - finely chopped
2 Medium Onions - finely chopped
1 Egg
4 Big White Bread slices
18 - 20 Mint leaves - finely chopped
6 Tablespoons Coriander leaves - chopped
Method
Place the chicken mince in a strainer and let it stand until water drains off ..or else it will get soggy when add spices and other ingredients. Add all the ingredients into it and marinate for about 2 hours.I flattened it in a tray lined with cling film and covered it with cling film, left it overnight in the refrigerator.
 Then next morning I, took a small cutter and cut small patties. 
Fried them in little oil till golden on both sides, Leave them cool completely. 
Ingredients
For the Buns 
1/2 Cup Heaped Mashed Potato
2 Tablespoons Butter
2 1/2 Cups Level All Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Sugar
1.1/4 Teaspoon Level Instant yeast
1 Teaspoon Level Salt
3/4 to 1 Cup Of Potato Cooking Water
For Brushing On Buns1 Egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk
Other Ingredients for the filling5 Cheese Slices - each cut into 4 equal squares
18 Slices  Homemade Pickled Gherkins - drained

Method
For the buns
Brush 3 medium potatoes till clean and cook them in water till done. Then peel them, grate them or use a ricer to get smooth mashed potatoes. Measure 1/2 cup heaped very firmly packed mashed potatoes Reserve the cooking water to knead the dough.
In the bowl of a food processor (or a large bowl if kneading by hand) whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, butter and salt. Add potato mixture to flour mixture and run it until well combined. Now keep adding the potato water little by little on low speed until dough is soft and slightly sticky but smooth. Take the dough on to an oiled surface and knead it for about 8 to 10 minutes till it's smooth and soft. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a oiled container, flipping and turning once to get it well oiled. 
Cover tightly with cling wrap and allow to rise in a until almost doubled in volume.
When it doubles in volume turn out the dough onto a weighing scale and accordingly cut into equal size ball. Each ball is 40 grams, the last one was 45 grams. I got 18 buns from the dough. Cover the balls loosely with a damp cloth to prevent dough from drying out.
Working with one piece of dough at a time and keeping remaining pieces covered, form dough pieces into smooth, balls rounds. Cover rounds with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 15 minutes.

Oil a baking tray and dust it lightly with flour. 
On a oiled surface, firmly pat down each dough round into a flat disk. 
Place a slice of pickled gherkin in the center, followed by a quartered slice of cheese
then top it with the chicken patty. 
Gather up the dough on top of the filling, pressing the dough over itself to seal. 
Turn upside down then place on the prepared baking tray, seem-side down. Repeat with the rest of the dough. 
Cover with a cling wrap and place it in the refrigerator. 
An hour before baking, take the tray out and let it come to room temperature. Brush them with egg wash and keep them covered.
Pre heat the oven to 200 degrees C and bake them until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through to ensure even brownness.  Serve them warm.
