07-09 Greek burgers

Its still summertime so another excuse to eat outside are these burgers that are Greek inspired, Play with the herbs to create what you like best.

Let soak for 5 minutes:
1/2 c bread crumbs
1/2 c milk
Saute
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
when onions soften, add in
4-6 oz baby spinach, chopped
stir 1-2 minutes more then add to crumb mixture
Then mix in
1 lb ground lamb, beef or turkey
2 T fresh mint, chopped
4 t fresh oregano, chopped
1 T lemon juice
1 T olive oil
Combine well in mixer if possible to tenderize
Then make patties and grill
Serve with fresh tomatoes, thin slice of red onion, arugula and feta on top.

I think I will add dill to the next batch and see what that tastes like.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
