RE: Save Money: Stretch Your Meat
I suggest 2 things:
- Try soaking the lentils in a mixture of water and soy-sauce for a couple hours beforehand for more flavour and tenderness.
- Put your cubes of chicken and the food processor blade in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes or until the cubes are firm around the edges before grinding.
Nice post. I haven't tried combining these two. Looks good!
Those are excellent tips, especially partially freezing the chicken - I bet that creates a more burger-y texture. I sometimes mix soy sauce into the meat mixture but haven't tried it with the lentils pre-cooking. Thanks!
