Texture options
Each texture has its own ingredients and method. Choose one to switch the whole recipe.
AI-drafted texture method — not from the recipe book and not clinically approved. Texture suitability should be confirmed according to the resident's individual swallowing and dietary requirements and the facility's clinical/dietetic processes.
Requires Clinical or Recipe Review
An assembled burger cannot retain its original form at Level 4. This bread-free puréed adaptation requires review, particularly for chicken fibres, sticky cheese and changes to original bun allergens.
Smooth chicken purée with cheese gravy and a separate smooth tomato purée; approximately 50 serves.
Ingredients
- 50 chicken thigh fillets, skinless and boneless, fat and gristle removed
- Tomato sauce 100 g
- 15 tomatoes, peeled and deseeded
- 50 cheese slices
- Low-salt chicken stock 2.5 L; reserve part for blending and consistency adjustment
- Wheat flour 150 g, for smooth gravy
- Canola oil 150 mL, for gravy
- Seasoning to taste
- Food thickener, as needed, as per manufacturer's instructions
- Omit 3 iceberg lettuces
- Omit 50 burger buns; wheat flour retains wheat, but check original buns for other allergens
- Omit optional fries and raw side salad
Final texture
Smooth, lump-free chicken and tomato purées that hold shape, release easily from a spoon and have no fibres, cheese strands or separate liquid.
Sauce, gravy & liquid
Incorporate smooth cheese gravy and stock into the chicken purée. Thicken each component as needed; do not pour unmodified stock or thin sauce onto the plate.
