The last post I made I was still living in Australia, I have now retreated to my Alpine hideout, no it isn't Berhof, as you might assume.
So here I am, unemployed and with nothing better to do than making blog entries about the sandwiches I'm eating, today I really did mean to eat healthy, I swear.
After seeing what the healthy options looked like, I opted for something else.
Upon a further exploration of the contents of the fridge, I found a pack of these
They are burgers, but instead of being made of cow or what passes per cow these days, they're made of pork, that cut of pork leg usually used for "cotechino", which is an Italian dish.
Upon further inspection I decided they would be a better lunch option that the sad looking supermarket salad.
Here is the burgers in their bag, looking well fat
So obviously the first step was to get on on a tray, put some freshly ground black pepper on top(yes I do grind my own pepper), and then the douse the think in sauce. Even though traditionally I'd say Nando Peri Peri Marinade is more for chicken, given the non-conventionality of a pork leg burger I say why not and went ahead with the trial
That's the burger marinated in sauce and then put in the oven, on grill.
After a few minutes in the oven on grill mode, I put it in a toaster on some warm bread and added copious amounts of cheese.
Needless to say the result was awesome and totally saved me the gas it would have required to drive to McDonalds.
Finished product here:
GREASY and tasty just as I like it.
Safe comrades...
