Chef T's Magic Powder - for Incredible Burger Patties, Steaks, Chicken, Pork, Stews & Soups!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Seasoning / Rubs / Spices
 
Today we're going to make a batch of my magic powder. This amazing stuff is primarily for making the most incredible burger patties, however it can be used just as successfully to flavor roasts, stews, soups and really just about anything. After making the powder, I will demonstrate how to use it to make the burger patties, and a superbly tender roast spatcock chicken. The theory behind how and why this powder works so well will covered in another episode in the near future. Although you can naturally dry the ingredients for the powder in trays, it does help to have a food dryer with multiple racks.
Ingredients
  • 80g Fresh coriander leaves (with stems)
  • ½ Red Pepper
  • ½ Yellow Pepper
  • 30ml Tabasco sauce
  • 8 Portabello mushrooms (or procini)
  • 30ml Onion Flakes
  • 15ml Lemon pepper
  • 15ml +15ml Cornstarch
  • 15ml Salt
For the Burger Patties
  • 7.5ml Magic powder per 100g ground beef
  • 10ml Water per 100g ground beef
For the Chicken
  • Magic powder
  • Roasting vegetables of your choice
  • 1.8kg Chicken
Instructions
  1. To start, place 80g of fresh coriander, including the stems into drying racks.
  2. Cut a half yellow pepper and a half red pepper into strips.
  3. Place these in a mixing bowl, pour in 30ml or 2 tablespoons of Tabasco sauce and toss the peppers until everything is coated.
  4. Cut 8 portabello mushrooms into slices. You can also use porcini mushrooms which work just as well.
  5. Place the sliced mushrooms and peppers into drying trays and stack these on your dryer for 36 to 48 hours until everything is well desiccated.
  6. To make the powder from all the dried ingredients, you will to measure 30ml or 2 tablespoons of dried onion flakes, 15ml or a tablespoon of lemon pepper, 15ml of salt and 15ml of cornstarch.
  7. Place all of the ingredients from the dryer on a chopping board and chop them roughly to make them more manageable for your spice grinder.
  8. Fill your spice grinder to the top with some of this mixture and machine it until reasonably fine.
  9. During the machining the mixture will break down considerably leaving space to add more of the mixture.
  10. Add more of the mixture along with some of the cornstarch.
  11. Machine it again, and carry on adding more of the dried ingredients along with a little cornstarch, until all of the ingredients from the dryer have been ground.
  12. Place this in a bowl, and add the salt, onion flakes, lemon pepper and remaining cornstarch. Mix this together well.
  13. Put the mixture back into the grinder in batches and machine each batch until fine.
  14. Place the fine mixture in a jug and add a further 15ml of cornstarch and mix this in. The cornstarch is used as an anti-caking agent.
  15. Transfer the magic powder to an air-tight sprinkle bottle with large holes and you're ready to go.
  16. To make your magic burger patties you will need 7.5ml or 1.5 teaspoons of magic powder for every 100g of ground beef as well as 10ml or 2 teaspoons of water for each 100g of beef.
  17. Place this all in your stand mixer with the dough hook attached and allow this to mix for 7 minutes on medium low speed, until well emulsified.
  18. Press the burger patties and grill as normal.
  19. Make up your burgers and enjoy. Here we see a double cheese burger using my magic patties and the McDonald's burger we made 2 episodes back.
  20. For the chicken, cut the bird down through breast bone and flatten it out. Place it in a large roasting pan.
  21. Sprinkle the magic powder liberally over the chicken and fill up any space in the pan with the roasting vegetables of your choice.
  22. Pour in 400ml of chicken stock and cover the pan with foil.
  23. Bake the chicken in a pre-heated oven at 200c or 400f for 45 minutes.
  24. Remove the pan from the oven, remove the foil from the pan and return it to the oven uncovered for a further 35 minutes.
  25. Increase the heat to 250c or 480f for a further 10 to 15 minutes until the chicken is crispy and golden. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

After a couple of weeks away, and almost 4000 km later, I am back. In today's episode, we're going to make chicken bone broth. In addition to the amazing health benefits this wonder food holds, it also makes the most amazing base for gravies, soups and sauces. Some of these will be covered in the next few episodes.
Ingredients
  • Bones from 9-12 uncooked chicken thighs
  • 60ml White wine vinegar
  • 5ml Whole allspice
  • 5ml Whole black pepper
  • 15ml Salt (preferably Himalayan)
  • 3-4 Bay leaves
  • Water
Instructions
  1. Strip the flesh from 9-12 chicken thighs.
  2. Use your shears to cut through the thigh bones. This makes the gelatin and collagen more accessible and shortens the process dramatically.
  3. The collagen and gelatin are what make this so healthy. Both of these, especially the collagen are used in the treatment of arthritic and degenerative joint disorders. They also add a silky smooth mouth feel to the broth.
  4. Place the bones in your pressure cooker along with the white wine vinegar, whole allspice, whole black peppercorns, salt and bay leaves.
  5. Pour in enough boiling water to bring the total quantity to 4 liters.
  6. Place the lid on the pot and cook this under high pressure for 2 hours.
  7. After 2 hours, turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool substantially in the sealed pot for an hour or 2.
  8. After this time, remove the lid and strain the broth through a sieve into a large bowl. Notice how glossy the liquid is as a result of the gelatin and collagen.
  9. Place the bowl in the refrigerator overnight to allow the fat to rise to the surface and solidify.
  10. The following day, use a slotted spoon to remove the fat from the surface. Reserve the fat in a bowl in your refrigerator.
  11. In the following 3 episodes we will be using the broth to make amazing gravy, soup and sauce.

Ultra clarifying solutions is not only far less work, but results in an absolutely clear, colorless solution that retains all of the fragrance and flavor of the original solution.
Ingredients
  • 500ml Fruit juice or stock
  • 13g Powdered gelatin (20ml)
Instructions
  1. Start with 500ml of juice and pour a quarter of this or 125ml into another heat proof jug.
  2. In addition, measure out 13g or 20ml of gelatin. Heat the smaller quantity of juice in your microwave until hot then add the gelatin. Stir this in until totally dissolved.
  3. Pour the 125ml of juice into the 375ml of juice and stir this in.
  4. Place the jug in your freezer overnight so that it freezes absolutely solid.
  5. The following day, place a sieve across a mixing bowl and line the sieve with butter muslin, cheese cloth or very fine net curtain.
  6. To release the frozen juice from the jug stand it in a pan of boiling kettle water for 30 seconds.
  7. Flip the frozen block out into the sieve and allow this to stand at room temperature until defrosted.
  8. When it has defrosted, it will retain its shape, but will be spongy to touch.
  9. Tie the corners of the cloth together with a long handled utensil tied into the knot. Suspend the utensil across the edges of the bowl. If the bowl is not deep enough for bag to hang freely, place spacers underneath the handle to raise the bag.
  10. Let the pressure of the hanging bag extract all of the liquid from the jelly. This will take a few hours.
  11. Remove the bag from the bowl when the jelly starts to press through the cloth.
  12. From 500ml of juice with pulp included, you will yield about 300ml of clear orange juice. If we were using a strained stock, or black coffee or any other strained liquid, the yield would be considerably more.
