Couzan Billy Burger

Well I did get to testing a new burger a while back...just haven’t posted it yet. It is fairly unique and combines some tastes you may not think work. Give it a try......

Cut thick slices of red onion...about 1/2 inch for you onion lovers...thinner for the rest of us!

Grill these over low heat and apply your favorite BBQ sauce to both sides. Be careful not to burn
and over cook. Set these aside and cover loosely with foil.

Then prepare your burger as you normally would and toast your buns.

Place the onion slice on the bottom bun and then the burger and top with your favorite bleu cheese dressing. This topping can be homemade very easily. Here are a couple of ideas......

Mix bleu cheese with butter. Just enough butter to prevent the cheese from crumbling.

Mix bleu cheese with Mayo or sour cream, add some salt and pepper and a few drops of Tabasco sauce. I mix mine with Miracle Whip and Tabasco...again just enough to prevent the cheese from
crumbling. I do this in my little hand processor.

I will try to get more accurate measurements this weekend for the above bleu cheese dressings

Season Fruit : Basic Cobbler Recipe

One way to use up extra fruit is with cobblers. Fortunately, stone fruits and berries bake very well. These are perfect for a dessert with family, for a picnic, and even for hosting a summer dinner party.
Cobblers are versatile desserts in that they allow room for creativity. You can use a single fruit like peaches or just mix what you have: plum strawberry or white nectarine and raspberry. You can add spices with the fruit or into the biscuit topping.
They also can be made year round with seasonal fruits. So whether in the winter or the summer, you can make these easy desserts with what is available.

Fruit:

4 cups of peaches, cut into large chunks
1 cup of blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tsp of cinnamon


Biscuit dough:

1 1/2 cups AP Flour
3 tablespoons sugar
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
3/4 cup of whole milk
coarse or turbinado sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Mix the fruit, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
For the biscuit dough, sift the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. With a two knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until pea-sized. Pour in liquids, and mix until the dough becomes a sticky mass. (Or, take advantage of the food processor if you have one big enough to make the dough.) Do not overmix.

Butter a 2 quart baking dish or a 8 X 8 inch casserole dish. Place the fruit mixture inside casserole dish. Take spoonfuls of cobbler dough and drop randomly over the fruit. (The dough will not completely cover the fruit.) Sprinkle with coarse or turbinado sugar. Bake at 375 F for 50 minutes to an hour or until fruit is tender when poked in the center. Cool for 20 minutes.

Option:

Bake in individial ramekins. Take 6 to 8 ramekins and generously portion the fruit, top with the biscuit dough and bake at 375 F for 30 or 40 minutes.
