Free Recipes Pecan Burgers

2009-10-02 Thread *~Tamara~*

Pecan Burgers

1 pound of hamburger meat 
5 tablespoons of chopped pecans 
1/4 cup chopped onion 
1/4 cup chopped bell peppers 
2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley 
1/4 teaspoon pepper 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
4 hamburger rolls 
Oil and butter for cooking 

To get the most flavor into our Pecan Burgers we are going to roast the pecans 
on the stove first, we recommend buying whole pecans and chopping them 
yourself. 

Heat a heavy bottomed skillet over a high heat, throw in the chopped pecans and 
cook for 2-3 minutes. You should see a change in color slightly as the pecans 
roast and begin to release some of their natural oils. Remove and set aside. 
Now combine the hamburger meat, chopped onions and bell pepper, parsley and 
seasoning in a large bowl and mix well, then mix in the roasted pecans. 
Shape the mixture into 4 patties with your hands and fry in a little oil for 
4-5 minutes each side making sure the meat is fully cooked. These Pecan Burgers 
are perfect for the barbeque because those pecans roast up even better. 

Pecan Burgers tip: If you really want to go gourmet then try throwing in a 
couple of teaspoons of Pecan Oil to the meat mixture.

These burgers are great to serve to your guests to see if they can guess the 
mysterious ingredient.

Bottoms Up, Butterbeer

Madam Rosmerta would agree that no wizard party is complete without a pint 
of freshly-brewed Butterbeer. With our house elf _now missing_ 
(http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/heather_bailey/2009/07/candy-coated-roach-control.html)
 
, it took us quite a few iterations before we discovered the perfect potion 
for this usually overly-sweet concoction. A hint of ginger and the 
sweetness of butterscotch combine to create a delightful and refreshing 
non-alcoholic drink, capable of making even Severus Snape smile. 
 
(http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452a63369e20115711662cf970c-popup) 
Butterbeer Recipe
12 oz. (one bottle) ginger beer
36 oz. (three bottles) cream soda
3 T butterscotch ice cream topping 
Thoroughly chill unopened ginger beer and cream soda in refrigerator until 
icy-cold.  Refrigerate empty, glass pitcher as well.  Once beverages are 
chilled, in a small mixing bowl or tall glass, stir 1-2 oz. Of cream soda into 
butterscotch topping till thoroughly combined.  Pour all remaining soda into 
chilled pitcher. Quickly add butterscotch mixture to pitcher.  Stir till 
just combined;  do not over-stir.  Pour over ice and serve immediately.  
Serves 6. 
For a frothy sparkle, dip the rim of each glass in corn syrup, pulling 
drips of syrup downward with a toothpick.  Then dip each glass rim in a mixture 
of colored sugar.  Before dipping, spread the corn syrup  sugar mixture 
each onto a separate, flat-bottomed plate. 
For an old-world, textured effect, mix fine, yellow sugar with coarser, 
gold sugar.  Colored sugars are available at many grocery stores and craft 
chains.  The sugars shown here are both from _Michael's_

teenagers.  It was a sight.

platter with fresh thyme, if desired, and serve immediately.·  
Potato Pancakes:  
In 4-quart saucepan, cover 4 medium baking potatoes with water and heat to 
boiling; cover and cook potatoes 25 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain 
potatoes and cool until easy to han-dle. Peel potatoes and mash in bowl with 
1/4

egg, 1 T chopped fresh parsley leaves, 1 T chopped fresh chives, 1 t salt, and

tablespoons vegetable oil over medium heat. Shape potato mixture into twelve 
2 1/2-inch patties and fry, in batches, until golden brown on both sides,
