How much money do you spend on fast food; are you a ‘once in a blue moon’ kind of person, or a ‘I just can’t help myself’ fast-food-aholic? Wouldn’t it be great if you could treat yourself to a healthier, cheaper, homemade alternative? Well, now you can…tuck in!
To make ¾ of a cup:
Combine all of the ingredients, stir well and refrigerate for several house. Stir a few times during chilling.
Mix water with corn syrup, then add your finely chopped fries and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Heat peanut oil in a deep fryer until it reaches 190c/375f.
Remove fries from their water and pat them dry, before carefully adding them to the oil to part-fry them for 1 and a half minutes. Remove them from the fryer and return to the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add the beef fat to the peanut oil, and turn the heat up to 200c/400f.
Add the fries back into the oil and fry for 5 to 7 minutes or until they are golden brown. Drain, sprinkle with salt and serve.
Mix all of the ingredients together. Dip chicken drumsticks and wings into egg, then roll in the mix, repeat this step again, then fry.
Combine 1 ½ tablespoons of flour with the vegetable oil in a saucepan over a low heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring often, until it is dark brown. Remove the heat, add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Turn the heat on – a medium heat this time – and bring to the boil. This recipe works best when you can add leftover KFC chicken ingredients that have already been cooked to the mixture.
Stir roasted garlic with brown sugar, pineapple juice, water, teriyaki sauce and soy sauce, bring to the boil in a saucepan and then simmer.
Add the remaining ingredients and simmer on the hob until the liquid reduces by half and is thick and syrupy. This process should take 40-50 minutes.
The Burger King secret method involves the way it’s cooked, not the ingredients that are cooked. Flame grill, rather than oven cook, your burger for maximum BK-ness!
Heat the oil and vinegar in a saucepan. Add all of the other ingredients and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool before blending into a fine sauce. This can be bottled and preserved for longer-term use.
Mix all of the ingredients together except for the meat and water. Cook the beef mince until brown. Drain the water, before returning the beef to the saucepan along with the spice mix and ¾ cup of water. Simmer on a low heat for 20 minutes, until most of the moisture has cooked away.
Mix all of the above together, slowly adding the milk as the final step until you have a consistency that you’re happy with.
Simply mix the spices together before adding to 5 chopped potatoes worth of fries before cooking for 15-20 minutes.
The Meatballs
The Marinara
Soak breadcrumbs in milk for a short while, then add beef, egg substitute, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Use your hands to mix well. Divide into four portions and roll into balls. Bake these for 12-15 minutes.
For the marinara sauce, combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat for four minutes. Add the meatballs and then serve in a roll, top with cheese.
The Sauce
Cook French fries and top directly with slices of cheese. Caramelise onions over a medium-high heat in oil, then add on top of the cheese and fries. Mix the sauce ingredients together and squeeze on top of your fries. Done! This not-so-secret menu item just got even less secret.
Burrito Mix
Cilantro Lime Rice
Making a Chipotle style burrito is more about bringing the right components together than cooking with a range of ingredients. For the rice, boil and simmer the basmati rice with salt for 15-20 minutes, before removing from the heat and mixing in cilantro and lime juice. Top your steamed tortilla with all of the ingredients on the list for that instantly recognisable Chipotle taste.
And for dessert…
This is an easy one, as long as you have an ice cream maker. Simply stir all of the ingredients before adding it to the machine and letting the magic happen.
