Ingredients
1/2 to 1 raw onion grated
4 large potatoes grated
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup water
Directions
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Using a non-stick pan on medium heat,
or a griddle at 325 degrees, ladle the mixture on pan and mash down
until flat about burger thickness. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Turn over
and cook 5-8 minutes.
Hints: Use a food processor to grate the potato and onion. The onion
may get gooy but that's o.k. Ore Ida has hash browns that are already
grated, and I've been meaning to try that as a time saver but haven't
done it yet. If any one has done this please post your success. If
you want to double this recipe, use separate bowls or it is too hard
to mix, I've already tried. These freeze well. I usually think of one
potato as a serving. For two people the above recipe could be dinner
and lunch. Top with all your favorite low fat condiments. It
surprised us at how much these taste like Real hamburgers with all
the toppings.

The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the East, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a surge in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cook books are in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
