FEEL GOOD BURGER, SATAY AND POTATO WEDGES...

I love quick and easy food, i also love a plate full of different flavours and textures. These have relatively short prep times and you can have them all served at the same time if you manage your time properly.

For Chicken Satay:

Skinless chicken breast

Wooden skewers

Garlic and ginger

Salt and pepper

Chicken seasoning

A dash of vinegar

A dash of white wine

Half a teaspoon of cinnamon

1 tablespoons of olive oil

Soak wooden skewers in bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes. This time allows it to soak up some water so it doesn't burn while grilling or dry up and start to absorb your chicken moisture. Also do not cut your chicken too thin so it doesn't dry out on the grill.

Cut chicken breast into slices of 1 cm diameter and starting from one end "sew" through the chicken with the skewer. Don't leave too much of the tip of the skewer out so that it doesn't rip your bag in the next step.

Mix all the ingredients together, pour into a freezer bag or ziploc bag and add chicken, rubbing gently so the chicken is completely covered. Refrigerate for an hour.

 Take your chicken out of the bag and transfer onto a plate. Put the remaining marinade in a bowl and pop into the microwave for 2 minutes, take it out and add remaining olive oil, this will be used to baste the chicken while it grills.

Heat up your grill (or a non-stick griddle or frying pan) and brush on a teaspoon of olive oil, brush one side of the chicken with the basting marinade and lay that side of your chicken on the grill. Let it cook for 5 minutes, baste the top of the chicken and flip that side on to the grill for 5 minutes and take off. And just like that, that bit is ready!

For Potato Wedges:
Potatoes - Peeled and quartered
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Garlic powder
2 teaspoon all seasoning
2 teaspoons paprika

Boil potatoes for about 10 minutes until soft but not properly cooked, drain and transfer into greased baking tray.

Mix all other ingredients except the paprika and brush over the potatoes till its completely covered. Sprinkle paprika over the potatoes and pop into a preheated oven for 10 minutes. Take it out, turn it all around gently and pop it back in for another 5 - 7 minutes and serve.

For Burger:
200grms minced meat
Chopped parsley
1 Egg
Salt and pepper
Garlic and ginger
Chopped mushrooms
1 Chopped onion
Lettuce
1 Teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 Burger buns
A knob of butter
Mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup
1 Tomato thinly sliced
Half a cucumber thinly sliced
4 Slices of cheddar cheese for the 4 burgers

Combine your minced meat, chopped parsley, egg, salt, pepper, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, onions, worcestershire sauce in a bowl and set aside for about 30 minutes.

Slice your bun in half and butter it and toast until brown on a grill, toaster or pan. Mix 1 teaspoon on ketchup, mayo and mustard and a pinch of cracked black pepper and rub a little over the toasted side of the buns and set aside.

Brush your grill or pan with a little olive oil, mould your burgers and place on the grill. Do not press the burger down or you will lose all of its juices, if you are using a grill, just place the top over it. Flip after 5 minutes on one side.

There is no particular order when building a burger but i do lettuce then cucumber, burger patty, (onions for onion lovers like me) cheese, tomato, lettuce and cover burger bun.

Happy customer...
