Cheese Kubi Burgers
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2017 03:34
In response to a request from Red I have started a thread about Kubi burgers. Apparently this is a bit of an Alberta thing. Being a prairie province we have a very large Ukrainian contingent
here from immigrants who came to homestead after the second world war. There are two small towns east of Edmonton, Vegreville and Mundare that are famous (in Canada anyway) notable Ukrainian towns. Mundare is home to the worlds largest "KUBASSA" and Vegreville, the worlds largest "PYSANKA" (Ukranian easter egg). Mundare is home to Stawnichy's world renowned garlic sausage. It sells for around $12.00/pound. A product spawned from all this Kubassa is kubi burgers and cheese Kubi Burgers. It's basically the garlic ring stuffed in a waterproof 90mm casing, poached, cooled, sliced, and cold smoked. For a cheese Kubi I add 10% Mozza, pepper Jack, or Jalapeno Jack, depending what was on sale, or on hand. I cube it, or throw it in the silent cutter if I'm using it. They are grilled and eaten like a regular hamburger or made into a breakfast sandwich. I made some before Christmas and here are some pics.
