Matty Matheson’s Return of the Mac (+Others!)

Matty Matheson’s Return of the Mac (+Others!)

Continuing with my cooks from the Black Axe Mangal book next up was Matty Matheson’s Return of the Mac. It’s another one which once I saw the recipe I had to cook it!

This recipe is from the Black Axe Mangal Cookbook:

 
 
Slightly different format for this blog post as I don’t seem to have any photos of the cook process!
 
The recipe does call for you to make the BAM flatbreads but I made them on a previous cook and it was a 4 day process! This time I had some Turkish flatbreads that I used and cut to shape.
 
Beef mince was fried in beef dripping then salt and beef stock was added. The burger sauce was made from American mustard, tomato ketchup, Mayo, diced shallot and diced gherkins.
 
On top of the bread I added the meat, American cheese slices and some Mozzarella then gave it a blast in the Ooni pro. Next up gherkins, onion and burger sauce.

Also cooked this week:

Burma Burger:

Another one from the Quality Chop House book.

Burger in a Petromax pan on the Napoleon Pro 22 with cheese and bottarga on top (I had to Google that and wasn’t too sure but it really worked!)

What a burger this was! So, so tasty – really blew me away! The bottarga was a great touch, on it’s own I am not too sure but on the burger it was awesome. The lime mayo and spiced tomato chutney were also fantastic.

Chicken and Leek Pie:

This was from the Quality Chop House cookbook – you cook a whole chicken then break it down and split it between two pies. Made the pastry myself too! Cooked in the Kamado Joe. Wish I had taken more photos during the cook.

The pies were fantastic, we only managed one and I have one in the freezer still.
