Ingredients

For the Pork Burgers Recipe

  • 2.5 pounds ground pork
  • ½ onion small dice
  • 1 shallot small dice
  • 4 cloves roasted garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • 2 strips bacon cooked
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

For the Mustard Sauce

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 pinch Kosher salt

Instructions

For the Pork Burgers

  • Turn on the grill to get it hot!
  • Start by heating a sautee pan over high heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add in the onion and cook for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add a pinch of salt and the shallots. Stir and continue to cook for 4-5 more minutes. Remove and add the shallots and onions to a mixing bowl.
  • In the same mixing bowl, add in all the remaining burger ingredients. Mix well by hand until all the ingredients are incorporated.
  • Form eight pork burgers and take them to the grill. Cook on one side for 7-8 minutes. Flip and cook on the other for 7-8 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Remove from the grill, top with your favorite toppings and happy eating!

For the Mustard Sauce

  • Add all the ingredients into a small bowl.
  • Using either a whisk or a hand mixer, begin to emulsify the liquid. Because we have added the olive oil all at once, this will not make mayonnaise. It will be thinner.
  • Taste, adjust the seasoning and add to the burger, fish or chicken!

Notes

  • The burgers must be cooked thoroughly. Ground pork needs to be cooked to 160 to 165 degrees Fahrenheit to be considered safe to eat. For people who do not have much experience working with ground pork, this should be checked with a meat thermometer.
  • Mixing the ground pork with other ingredients needs to be done gently. If the mixture is overhandled, the burgers will be tough. Typically, I use a wooden spatula to mix the seasonings and ingredients into the pork, breaking it up gently with the edge of the spatula as I mix.
  • To form the patties, take a palm-sized scoop. Gently press between the hands, then press in on the edges in a circular manner.
