Homemade vegan burger experiment

Tofu, sprouted legumes, thawed peas and boiled carrots, mashed and run through a blender with tahina, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, pepper, oregano, basil and paprika.

It can be scooped to the desired size and used to make anything from a burger to a steak, and can be slow-fried in a non-stick pan or baked in a conventional oven.

Camel Burger

Spent the afternoon in Al Bastakiya and lunched on a burger of camel meat at Local House. It is actually pretty good ... quite dark and dense. Just ask them to go easy on the sauces if you plan to get one yourself. They also have camel biryani and camel ribs, by the way.
