UK Metric Measures - US Customary Measures

Instructions

  • Grate 1 Apple and then put in a clean tea towel and squeeze out any excess liquid.
  • Put the grated apple into a bowl with 200 g Lean pork mince, 1 Garlic clove, 10 g Panko breadcrumbs and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper and mix well.
  • Form the burgers into two patties.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil in a frying pan and then add the burgers. Cook for 6-7 minutes each side, until they are cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  • Once the burgers are cooked, grate 15 g Mature cheddar on top and melt.
  • Put the burgers on 2 Burger buns with rRocket lettuce, Gherkins and Burger sauce.

Notes

  • Add some extra flavour to these burgers with either rosemary or thyme or some finely chopped red onion.
  • Serve the burgers with sweet potato fries and/or Mexican coleslaw or Sweetcorn Salsa.
  • You can cook these burgers on the BBQ for about 4-5 minutes each side.
  • If you are going to freeze these burgers, then freeze the when they are still raw and defrost thoroughly before cooking.
  • Don't overwork the burger mixture when mixing by hand. This can make the burgers too tough and chewy.
  • Put the burgers in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking, as this will help them to stay together.
  • You could make a low carb version of these by skipping the bun and using a giant lettuce leaf to hold the burger and toppings together.
