MUTTY D'S QUARTER POUNDERS

Steps:

• Put the barley in the broth in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 50 minutes.
• Set aside and allow to cool.
• Ask human to turn oven on a 350°F.
• In a large bowl (NOT your dinner bowl – use a clean one, silly), place the meat, cottage cheese, veggies and eggs; mix thoroughly with clean paws.
• Add the wheat germ, cooled barley and olive oil; again, mix well.
• Spread the mixture evenly in a lightly greased loaf pan and ask human to put it in the 350°F oven for about an hour or so until it is done.
• When the burger loaf has cooled, ask human to cut a ¼ inch to ½ inch thick slice and slap it in one of those stale buns that are buried way in the back of the fridge.
• Slap some ketchup on it and inhale the burger.
• Wag your tail.
• Look at your human with big, wide, thank-you-mommy eyes!
• Ask human to freeze leftovers in individual slices for easy future burger-making purposes.

QUICK QUARTER-POUNDERS

Steps:

• Mix together the minced beef and enough beaten egg to bind it together, seasoning with salt and pepper. Divide the mince into four, shaping and pressing each into a burger. Heat a grill pan or the grill. Brush the burgers with the oil and cook for 6-7 mins on each side (using a baking tray if beneath the grill) for medium.
• Meanwhile, cut the cucumber into thick slices. Put the slices in a bowl and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Add a small splash of malt vinegar and mix well. Stir together the mayonnaise and the chosen mustard.
• Present the burgers on the tomato slices, topping with the mustard mayonnaise, cucumber slices and onion rings. Finish with the burger on an iceberg leaf, topping with another leaf, if you prefer.
