Hamburger/Meatball/Meatloaf recipe.🧵
- Finely chop ~6 cloves of garlic
- Chop ~0.5 to 1 onion, not too finely
- Cube some cheese (~ the same volume as the onion), Gouda works well. Even better if you have Parmesan which is great for adding umami flavor
- Throw it all in bowl
- Crush a handfull of Wallnuts (you can use other nuts, like almond or pistachio (howver, don't use peanuts))
- I had half a tomato left from yesterday. Chop it to a pulp and add it to the mix (Key point; don't be afraid to use left-overs if they combine well (Don't waste food!))
While you are doing the above, allready have some cubed bacon on a low fire.
Add ~ a teaspoon of each. 
- The Lime Chili paste is very salty, use it sparingly
- MSG is good, do not fear it
- Smoke paprika powder, if you have it, YES!
- Any other stuff lying around? Use your taste/smell to see if it will combine or not
Time to add some salt/pepper/spices:
- Cinnamon, just a tad (half of a small teaspoon or so, will do)
- Don't forget to add some crushed salt/pepper
- Once the bacon looks like this, chop it up a bit more finely
- DO NOT THROW AWAY THE BACON FAT!
USE IT FOR OTHER DISHES LATER! 
- Add ~1kg (2.2lbs) of ground meat. It can be beef or 50/50 beef pork. Feel free to experiment with horse or wild meats but keep the ratio of beef/pork at ~75% minimum.
- Add the cubed bacon
- Add ~ half a dozen of eggs
- Keep some breadcrumbs at the ready
- Knead
- If mix is too gooey, add breadcrumbs
- If mix is too dry? Meh, add another egg.
- Get the consistency needed for balls/burgers/meatloaf
- Seal off the top, place in cool dark place to let flavors permeate 1st! ~8-24 hrs is good. Room temp before grilling/baking!
Additional thoughts:
Bell- or hot peppers work well: http://x.com/LePlebRoyale/status/1626641933601841152
Mushrooms also, obviously!
I wonder if salted anchovies may be an interesting replacement for, or addition too, the bacon. 🤔
Or adding 15% 'balkenbrij' to the meat-mix 🤔http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkenbrij
