Lowell’s taking the evening train home tonight so I’m making
him something to have on the train. We had Anglo-Indian brunch so I’m following
the same theme. These are sort of burgers served in pitta bread. They are as
nice cold as hot.
450g minced pork
½ a medium onion, very finely chopped
100g coriander, chopped
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp salt
Pepper
8 lettuce leaves
4 Pitta breads
Put the pork, onion, coriander, chilli powder, garam masala
and salt & pepper in a bowl. Mix it all well. When it’s one big ball,
refrigerate for as long as you can. We only have an hour so it will have to do.
Divide the mix into 8, roll into balls and then flatten them
into patties. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook until cooked. I think burnt
crispy bits are good. Drain well on kitchen paper.
Warm the pitta breads to open them and slice them in half
cross ways so you have 2 short pockets, about the right size to hold your
burgers. Wrap each one in a lettuce leaf before tucking it into the pitta
pocket.
Lowell’s getting 4 of these stood up in a plastic sandwich
box, with a small pot of thick yoghurt that has chopped mint, salt & pepper
stirred in, for him to dip the burgers in. There's also a small bottle of
Perrier, a couple of tangerines and a bundle of paper napkins. I
always miss him and hope that good food will bring him back soon.
