I'm wishing of some fast food...
But I'm making it healthy fast food...
Let's make some Tasty Pork Burger with Pineapple!


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork.
  • 1/4 cup minced green onion.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice.
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt (more to taste, but be careful, the BBQ sauce is salty, as is the ham).
  • Pinch black pepper.
  • 4 pineapple rings, fresh or canned.
  • 1/4 cup your favorite barbecue sauce.
  • 4 burger buns.
  • 4 large lettuce leaves (use leafy lettuce).
  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced ham.

Preparation

Use your (clean) hands to mix the ground pork, green onion, allspice, salt, pepper and ground ginger together in a large bowl until just combined.
Don't knead the mixture too much or the burgers will be tough.
Gently form 4 equal patties, with a slight indentation in the middle (the burgers will contract as they cook, the indentation helps keep the burgers from bulging in the middle too much).
If you want, you can separate the patties with wax paper and store them for a few hours in the fridge before grilling.

Prepare your grill for medium high, direct heat.
Scrape down the grill grates and coat with vegetable oil.
Place the pork patties on the hot grill and paint the top with barbecue sauce.
Cover the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes. Flip the burgers and paint with more barbecue sauce.

After you'e flipped the burgers, lay the pineapple rings down on a hot part of the grill.
Cook the burgers for another 5 to 7 minutes, until cooked through.
Cook the pineapple rings for 3-5 minutes, or until you have nice grill marks on one side.
Flip the pineapple and grill another 1-2 minutes.
Remove the pineapple and burgers from the grill and let them rest 5 minutes.

While the meat is resting, toast the burger buns on the hot grill until the edges brown nicely, about 1-2 minutes.
To construct the burger, lay some lettuce on the bun, add the burger patty and paint with a little more barbecue sauce.
Top with the ham, then the pineapple, then the other bun.

Just eat it!!! I'm hungry now :)

Yummi!
Today we are going to cook one of my favourites deserts!
The awesome Meringue Pie!
I'm so excited so let's get started!
I know you will love it!


Ingredients

For the pastry

  • 175g plain flour.
  • 100g cold butter, cut in small pieces.
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar.
  • 1 egg yolk.

For the filling

  • 2 level tbsp cornflour.
  • 100g golden caster sugar.
  • finely grated zest 2 large lemon.
  • 125ml fresh lemon juice (from 2-3 lemons).
  • juice 1 small orange.
  • 85g butter, cut into pieces.
  • 3 egg yolks and a 1 whole egg.

For the meringue

  • 4 egg whites, room temperature.
  • 200g golden caster sugar.
  • 2 level tsp cornflour.

Preparation

For the pastry, put the flour, butter, icing sugar, egg yolk (save the white for the meringue) and 1 tbsp cold water into a food processor.
Using the pulse button so the mix is not overworked, process until the mix starts to bind.
Tip the pastry onto a lightly floured surface, gather together until smooth, then roll out and line a 23 x 2.5cm loose-bottom fluted flan tin.
Trim and neaten the edges. Press pastry into flutes.
The pastry is quite rich, so don’t worry if it cracks, just press it back together.
Prick the base with a fork, line with foil, shiny side down, and chill for 1⁄2-1 hour (or overnight).

Put a baking sheet in the oven and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
Bake the pastry case ‘blind’ (filled with dry beans) for 15 mins, then remove the foil and bake a further 5-8 mins until the pastry is pale golden and cooked.
Set aside. (Can be done a day ahead if you want to get ahead.)
Lower the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.

While the pastry bakes, prepare the filling: mix the cornflour, sugar and lemon zest in a medium saucepan.
Strain and stir in the lemon juice gradually.
Make orange juice up to 200ml/7fl oz with water and strain into the pan.
Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth.
Once the mixture bubbles, remove from the heat and beat in the butter until melted.
Beat the egg yolks (save white for meringue) and whole egg together, stir into the pan and return to a medium heat.
Keep stirring vigorously for a few minutes, until the mixture thickens and plops from the spoon. (It will bubble, but doesn’t curdle.)
Take off the heat and set aside while you make the meringue.

Put the egg whites in a large bowl.
Whisk to soft peaks, then add half the sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking between each addition without overbeating.
Whisk in the cornflour, then add the rest of the sugar as before until smooth and thick.
Quickly reheat the filling and pour it into the pastry case.
Immediately put spoonfuls of meringue around the edge of the filling (if you start in the middle the meringue may sink), then spread so it just touches the pastry (this will anchor it and help stop it sliding).
Pile the rest into the centre, spreading so it touches the surface of the hot filling (and starts to cook), then give it all a swirl.
Return to the oven for 18-20 mins until the meringue is crisp and slightly coloured.
Let the pie sit in the tin for 30 mins, then remove and leave for at least another 1⁄2-1 hr before slicing.

Delicious desert!!!! YUMMI! I LOVE IT!
