sam triple Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Thought Id try these for a change ,was getting a bit bored with just having pheasant roasted so out came the mincer 4 pheasants breasted, some bacon , onion and pork belly ,bread crumbs and thru the mincer it all went ,1 large egg from my chickens ,salt & pepper mixed together with my hands and into the burger press they went ended up getting 12 decent sized burgers out it all and they taste a hell of a lot better than Muc Donalds rest of the birds went to the slow cooker , took what ever meat was left and there was a fair bit that will be going into a game pie or 3 along with some venison ,rabbit ,partridge and pigeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I did some duck burgers the other week. Just some red onion, pintail, chilli flakes and an egg … used the food processor rather than the mincer I usually do …. still worked a treat.

Farmboy91 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) The first time I done hare for my boy I didn't tell him what it was, done it with all the normal roast trimmings. All he kept saying was ' have you tried that meat with some gravy dad, that's nice' and at the end of the meal it was ' is there anymore of that meat and gravy left dad' When I told him what he'd eaten he pulled a bit of a face, then told me he wanted it again and he's been up for trying different game ever since. I'll have to give your burger recipe a try. Edited February 10, 2020 by Farmboy91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Don't let not having a mincer stop you though … My last 2 lots I've used a food processor with great (certainly good enough!) results. My mincer is around 5 years old, and like the ones for around 29 quid off the bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what put me off using it in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I pre-chopped the meat and carefully pulsed it, and it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the same as mine. Partially frozen meat goes through the easiest. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
