Pork and Apple Burgers

Nothing makes us happier than respinning a fast food favourite into an equally fast, but healthy dinner! This week we’ve turned our attention to the trusty hamburger. No crazy additives and preservatives. Instead we’ve got the best pork we can lay our hands on from our butcher Nick ‘The Knife’ and added some homemade chunky chips. If you happen to have a slice of cheese in the fridge we won’t tell!

The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

1

Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees. Tip: Take your pork out of the fridge around 45 mins prior to cooking if you can - bringing it up to room temperature will mean it cooks more evenly later. Strip the leaves from the rosemary and chop them into a coarse powder.

Roast your potatoes
2

Scrub your potato under water. Chop the potatoes in half lengthways and then chop lengthways into chips. Toss in 1 tbsp of olive oil, a good pinch of salt and pepper and 1/2 tbsp of rosemary. Cook on the top shelf of the oven for around 30 mins until crispy (turning once).

Stir your ingredients together
3

Peel and then coarsely grate the apple, discarding the core and squeeze out some of the juice. In a bowl mix 1/4 tbsp rosemary, the pork and 4 tbsp of your grated apple. Mix in just under 1/4 tsp of salt and a few good grinds of black pepper.

Make your pork mixture into patties
4

Form the pork into two equally sized patties. Tip: Press the meat together only as hard as you need to for it to stick. The more loosely packed the meat the better the burger!

Fry your burgers
5

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium-high heat in a non-stick pan. Once hot gently add your burgers and cook for around 4-5 mins on each side. Tip: Don’t even consider turning your burger until it has formed a nice crust on the underside or else it could stick to the pan and break up.

6

Split your demi brioche buns in half and toast them lightly either under the grill or in a toaster. Tip: Watch they don’t burn!

7

Dress the salad leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Tip: If you feel like giving your salad a fancy twist, chop up some of your remaining apple and add to the mix. Serve the burgers with your chips and some of the dressed salad leaves.
