PORK BURGERS WITH FENNEL, CUCUMBER & ONION SLAW

Recipe by the Leek and the Carrot

Makes 8 burgers

Takes 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cucumber, very thinly sliced

1 fennel bulb, cored and thinly sliced

2 spring onions, thinly sliced

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon stone ground mustard

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill

1 tablespoon capers, roughly chopped

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

5 twists freshly ground black pepper

2 pounds ground pork, divided into 8 patties

8 brioche or kaiser burger buns (something hearty)

Ingredients:

  1. Preheat a grill to high heat. 

  2. While the grill preheats, prepare your slaw, by combining cucumber, fennel and red onion in a medium bowl. Combine sour cream, mayo, vinegar, mustard, dill, capers, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Add to cucumber mixture and fold gently until veggies are well-coated. Set aside.

  3. Place pork burgers directly over heat, and grill 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and grill marks appear.

  4. Toast buns on grill or in toaster. 

  5. Serve pork burgers on toasted buns with a hefty portion of slaw heaped on top.
