Panko and fried shallot crumbed beef burger with pearl barley couscous

Posted by Gary

Last week I was watching my favourite YouTube cook, viz., Hilah Johnson from Hilah Cooking. Her most recent recipe was panko and fried onion crumbed pork chops. This inspired me to make panko and fried shallot crumbed beef burger with pearl barley couscous.

I mean what’s not to like about Hilah. She’s Texan with a cool accent and she also spent some time living in New Zealand and Australia.

So what do you need to make these crumbed beef burgers

  • Beef burgers from Coles (or wherever you shop). I couldn’t be bothered making them from scratch. You can do that if you like.
  • Frozen White Wings pearl barley couscous
  • Plain flour
  • Mixed dried herbs
  • Smoked paprika
  • Egg
  • Dijon mustard
  • Panko bread crumbs
  • Fried shallots

How do you put it all together?

  1. In a small food processor crumb the fried shallots
  2. Combine the panko bread crumbs and put into a bowl
  3. Crack an egg and whisk in some Dijon mustard
  4. Add some plain flour to a bowl and then add some mixed dried herbs and smoked paprika (the proportions are up to you)
  5. Coat the beef burgers in the flour and then the egg wash and then finally the crumb mix
  6. Gently shallow fry in grapeseed oil the crumbed beef burgers for about 3 minutes each side and place on absorbent paper to drain the burger of excess oil
  7. Microwave the pearl barley couscous for 150 seconds

How do you prepare the dish for a photograph?

  1. Spread the pearl barley couscous onto a plate
  2. Place the crumbed beef burger on top
  3. Add some barbecue sauce and Dijon mustard to taste
  4. Shoot a photograph
  5. Eat the meal
  6. Wash the dishes
  7. Write the recipe
  8. Blog and vlog (verbs)
