Super Burger George Foreman

Pour cette recette, nous avons ajout de la chapelure et des lgumes hachs. Vous pouvez galement essayer avec du riz cuit ou dautres crales. Optez galement pour des petits pains de bl entier ; ils contiennent gnralement moins de matires grasses que les petits pains ordinaires ou mme rduits en calories. Si vous ne pouvez rsister devant un burger au fromage, choisissez du fromage suisse ; sa teneur en gras est de 1 gramme infrieure celle du Cheddar, American ou Monterey Jack, avec 8 g de matires grasses contre 9 g par once de fromage. Toutefois le Cheddar ou le Suisse allg contient deux fois moins de matires grasses, soit 4 g par once. La moutarde contient 1 g de gras par cuillre table, tandis quune cuillre table de mayonnaise en contient 11 g. Choisissez une garniture dittique pour votre burger : des feuilles de laitue bien vertes, du choux minc, du cilantro, du basilic ou des pinards frais. 1/4 tasse de lgumes hachs tels que des oignons, des chalotes, un zucchini, du persil (peuvent tre sauts) 1/4 tasse de chapelure assaisonne 3/4 lb de boeuf hach maigre Dans un bol de taille moyenne, mlangez les lgumes et la chapelure. Ajoutez le boeuf hach et mlangez soigneusement. Avec le mlange faites quatre steak de 4 pouces de diamtre. Prchauffez le gril puis faites cuire les steaks, 3 la fois. Fermez le couvercle.

1. Can I cook frozen food on my George Foreman Grill?

Response

Yes, but of course the cooking time will be longer. And it is preferable that food be defrosted before placing on the George Foreman Grill. Please refer to the Suggested Cooking Chart in this manual for examples. Yes. In order to protect the non-stick surface use wooden skewers. We recommend that you soak the skewers first in water for about 20 minutes. This will keep the skewers from burning. After cleaning your George Foreman Grill according to the "User Maintenance Instructions" make a paste of baking soda and water and spread on the surface of the Grill. Allow it to sit for a few minutes and then wipe away with a damp sponge or cloth. Preheat your Grill for 5-minutes. Place the hot dogs lengthwise on the Grill. Close the Lid and cook for 2-1/2 minutes or until desired browning is achieved. Yes, self-browning hash browns can be prepared by preheating the Grill for 5 minutes. Add hash browns onto the Grill surface, close the Lid, and cook for approximately half the time stated on the package for oven preparation. Fresh peppers can be grilled for 2-3 minutes for skinning purposes. Grilled cheese sandwiches can also be cooked on your George Foreman Grill.
