Shroom 'N' Swiss pork burgers with potato wedges & a Creamy Honey Dijon Dipper.

I modified this recipe using some of the sides are prepared over the weekend.

1 serving prepared

Here's what you get:


Yukon Gold potatoes 
Mushroom stock concentrate (not pictured)
Ground pork
Swiss cheese 
Sour cream 
Honey Dijon dressing 

Not used:
Button mushrooms 
Potato buns 

Substitutes:
Shiitake mushroom 
Balsamic red onions 
Sweetie pepper

Potato wedge seasoning 1/4 tsp each:
Garlic powder 
Onion powder 
Pepper 
Paprika 
Pink sea salt 
Dill 
Mustard power 

The potatoes:
The most amount of prep time spent on these was in making the seasoning for them. Once the potatoes were cut and I had the spices measured I just mix them together drizzle the potatoes and oil and seasoned. They went into the oven first as they took the most time to cook.

The protein:
I had this pre-seasoned with the mushroom stock and formed using a small metal bowl. Cook time on these is up to 14 minutes depending on the thickness of your patty. It was about the same effort as cooking a regular hamburger. 

Topping substitutes:
Left over from the other day I had some balsamic red onion and shiitake mushrooms. These were cooked in the cast iron with the pork burger. I put them in during the second half of cook time.

The sauce:
The sauce was an easy mix I just put the Dijon and sour cream together.

Extras:
To add more color to the plate I cut up a few scallions and dropped a few sweetie peppers on top of the burger.

The plate:


Overall I really like the flavor combination on this and I'm glad I used the leftover toppings I had. This meal really motivates me to come up with some fancy "burgers" of my own.

Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
