Gordon Ramsay's Smoky Pork Sliders and Barbecue Sauce - Ultimate Cookery Course

Over the last couple of days I've been having a go at listing the recipes I have cooked from various cookbooks, mainly in order to assuage my guilt that I just buy them, flick through them and never look at them again. The cookbook I appear to have made more from than I realised is Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course. I know that the book was initially published to coincide with a TV series of the same name, but I never actually watched the series, I bought it off the back of a recommendation from my aunt who I trust implicitly with all things culinary. I mainly chose to make this recipe as  it didn't require too much additional ingredient shopping, just the bacon, shallots, mince and buns, The Times have actually published the recipe here. I didn't use cheese and I used balsamic instead of cider vinegar as that is what I had in the cupboard. I don't have any Worcestershire sauce, so just left it out! I've actually made the sauce from this recipe before, but not the burgers. I'm calling them burgers rather than sliders as sliders makes me think of tiny portions and I knew I was hungry so would rather eat two burgers than six sliders mathematically speaking, it just sounds less greedy.

VERDICT:

I over-salted the burgers, which was a shame, but I still really enjoyed them and will definitely make again as they are pretty easy, just a matter of chopping, mixing and frying, nothing particularly groundbreaking though.

The sauce on the other hand, I really, really like. This is the second time I've made it and it's gorgeous.

On the whole, another recipe I've really enjoyed from this book


Huzzah! I actually took a photo of something I made.
