NAIROBI'Z BLOGAZINE: VINNY’S KITCHEN: BUILD YOUR OWN BURGER

Nairobi’z Blogazine is proud to start a new segment- VINNY’S KITCHEN. This will be an interactive segment of a foodie (that’s me- Vincent Libosso) sharing some easy to make meals straight from my kitchen. Today we begin with a home takeaway hamburger. You will need:

500g beef mince; or a mixture of mutton, pork and beef mince

1 thick slice of salt white bread

60 ml milk

50 ml margarine or butter

75 ml onion, chopped finely

1 egg

5ml Mchuzi mix; 2.5 ml salt; pinch white pepper

5ml baking powder

50 ml flour

v Soak the bread in the milk; then mash the bread.

v Combine all the ingredients and mix well.

v Roll large spoonfuls of the mixture into balls; then flatten to make neat patties of the desired size and dust lightly with flour

v Heat the butter or margarine in a shallow saucepan and fry patties until nicely browned on one side; turn over and fry for a few minutes on the side.

v Spread buns with butter; layer tomato slices; lettuce and hamburger patties. Spice up the burger further with tangy pickles; onion or cheese slices; mushroom or tomato sauce- anything that takes your fancy!

B.Y.O.B-BUILD YOUR OWN BURGER is the in thing at Brew Bistro & Lounge. Every Tuesday 4pm- midnight. You can choose from over 40 different toppings. Dj Andre will be spinning the best of soul from 7pm.
