Jimmy's Satay Cheeseburger, Pickles, Sriracha Mayo, Milk Bun

Come on foodies... UP YOUR BURGER GAME! Our great friend Ping Coombes gave me this awesome burger recipe which incorporates our fabulous Jimmy's Satay sauce. The secret lies in good quality beef that's been really well seasoned, adding strong melted cheese, a sharp crunch from Shedletsky pickles and sauerkraut, creamy spicy mayo and a great bun, lightly toasted on the grill. It really is very straight forward, simple and quick to do but with an epic outcome.

Recipe for Jimmy's Satay Cheeseburger, pickles, sriracha mayo
Serves 3

For the beef patty
500g good quality beef mince
2 tablespoons Jimmy's Satay Sauce
2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons Shedletsky's Everything Seasoning
1 teaspoon light soy sauce

The rest of the ingredients
3 Lievito milk burger buns buns, lightly toasted
Slices of mature cheddar, enough to generously cover 3 burgers
2 tablespoons of Japanese Kenko Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons of Sriracha
Shedletsky Bread & Butter Pickles
Shedletsky Curdito (South American sauerkraut)
A few handfuls of rocket
A little oil

1. Start by making the beef patty's. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together and then with a fair amount of slapping between the hands, shape the beef into three patty's. Chill in the fridge until ready to cook.

2. Mix together the Kenko mayo and sriracha. Taste it and if you want more kick, add a little more sriracha.

3. Pre-heat your oven grill to it's hottest setting.

4. Heat a ridged grill pan (or on a hot bbq) until smokin' and lightly toast the buns on both sides. This will not take long so don't walk away! Keep the heat on the grill high, ready to cook the burgers.

5. Lightly oil the burgers then drop them on the hot grill. Turn the heat down to medium high and cook the patties (without turning or moving them around) for around 1½ minutes. Turn them over and cook on the other side for another 1½ minutes.

6. Place the cheese slices over the top of each burger and place them under the grill until the cheese melts. Remove and allow to rest for a couple of minutes.

7. To construct the burger, generously spread sriracha mayo over both sides of the bun. Place a handful of rocket on the base and top with the burger. Arrange some bread and butter pickles and some curdito over the top of the patty and finish with the second half of the bun.

Now tuck in, a good burger should be juicy and slightly messy to eat, so make sure everyone has a napkin. Enjoy! Don't forget to tag us @somerset.foodie and leave a review for this recipe when you've made this at home. Ben

Crispy Miso Marinated Shiitake Bao Bun

The flavours going on in this bao bun are extraordinary. It has everything that a good bao bun should have - a deeply savoury, umami rich centrepiece, sharp pickles for good contrast, a creamy hot mayo, salty sweet roasted peanuts and fragrant herbs all wrapped up in a soft, fluffy warm bun.....I could live on these!

Bucatini all'Amatriciana

Providing a recipe for one of the classic Roman pasta dishes is always fraught with danger...a) because I don't come from Rome and b) I remember cooking for my wife's Great Aunt, who lived in Naples and was always quick to point out when I'd got something wrong! I love the simplicity of this dish and I want to share it, so here goes...

Easy Japanese Main Course

Japanese Gyudon - Beef Rice Bowl

The essence of the dish is extremely thinly sliced strips of beef that are simmered in a flavourful broth, served over rice and topped with pickled ginger, spring onions, shichimi togarashi and often a soft cooked egg. It's utterly delicious and super simple to make.The bonus is that once sliced, a single 8oz steak is enough for two people.
