We know that we talked about our cooking last week, but the rest of Year 6 did it today. We used the same skills: bridge and claw cutting methods, grating, frying, blending, moulding and – once again – washing up.
Once again, not everyone expected they’d enjoy it but everyone really liked them. Mushroom-based was the favourite of the group. We did the same recipes as last time: courgette-based, carrot-based and mushroom-based veggie burgers.
We took some more photos.
Pippa made a carrot avalanche or carralanche!
Some of us decided to taste them there and then.
Lots of children wanted to make the burgers at home so here’s the recipe.
- 2 shallots (chopped)
- 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp of breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp of cumin
- 1 tsp of paprika
- 150g of cheddar (grated) or 200g of feta (crumbled)
- 1 tin of mixed beans (optional)
- 2 carrots (grated) or 2 courgettes (grated) or a punnet of mushrooms (chopped)
Fry the onions and garlic (and mushrooms if you’re using them) and then place all of them into a large bowl. Use your hands to mix all of the ingredients together thoroughly. Once mixed, get a handful of mixture and use your hands to shape it into a burger. Place the burger shapes onto a baking tray and put in an oven (180 degrees) for 20 minutes.
Enjoy in a bun, with a salad or even with chips!
