Hooray for chicken!

I've been busy lately - this and that - so there haven't been many new things to write about. Here is one, though: a new chicken burger/patty.

Typically I buy chicken thighs, skin, debone and grind the meat myself. At least this way I know exactly what is going in to my food. Yes, it takes a little time, and I do not enjoy cleaning the grinder, but I feel it is well worth it. This time I decided to use the food processor and I was pretty happy with the result. Once I got it to where I wanted it, I added onion, garlic, red and white quinoa, sun-dried tomatoes, some oil from the sun-dried tomatoes, an anchovy, salt, pepper and freshly chopped parsley.

These look like this. You can see some of the red quinoa, and you get an idea of the varying texture of the chicken - some small chunks, some more processed. That was exactly what I was looking for.

And afterwards, they look like this. I seared the patty first and then finished in the oven. This kind of thing would probably go very nicely on skewers and then done on the barbecue.
