RE: Save Money: Stretch Your Meat

in #frugal8 years ago (edited)

I suggest 2 things:

  1. Try soaking the lentils in a mixture of water and soy-sauce for a couple hours beforehand for more flavour and tenderness.
  2. 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!
