Best 11 Garlicky Pork Burger Recipes

GARLICKY PORK BURGER

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill. Or, on stove top, heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat for 3 or 4 minutes.
• Put meat, salt, pepper, garlic and fennel in food processor, in batches if necessary, and pulse until coarsely ground: finer than chopped, but not much. Put it in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Taste, then add more seasoning if necessary. (If desired, cook a teaspoon of meat in a pan before tasting.) Handling meat as little as possible to avoid compressing it, shape it lightly into 4 or more burgers.
• Fire is hot enough when you can barely stand to hold your hand 3 or 4 inches over rack for a few seconds. Grill burgers about 5 minutes a side, or until medium. (Timing on stove top is the same.)
• Serve on buns, toast or hard rolls, garnished as you like.

GINGER GARLIC PORK WITH SIZZLING RICE

Steps:

• To make Da Sizzling Rice: Add rice and water to a small saucepot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit 30 minutes. Transfer the rice to a baking sheet and cool to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Put the rice into the oven and let it dry out for 1 hour.
• Heat 2 cups of oil to 350 degrees F. in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Cut the rice into 3-inch rounds and fry in the oil until crunchy and light brown, about 2 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
• To make Da Pork: Cut the pork into 3/4-inch rounds. Stir the soy sauce, mustard, and rice wine vinegar in a large bowl. Add the pork and let marinate for15 minutes. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. Lightly press down on the pork to flatten and dredge in the flour mixture. Heat the oil in medium saute pan, add the pork and cook until lightly browned on both sides.
• To make Da Gravy: In a medium sauce pot, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions, ginger, garlic, and pepper, and saute until the onions are translucent. Deglaze the pan with wine, and then add 2 cups of water, the stock, soy sauce and honey. Simmer for 1 hour or until reduced by half. Strain the gravy and return it to the pot over low heat. Combine the 4 tablespoons water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Slowly stir it into the sauce and cook until the gravy has thickened.
• For Da Plate up: Transfer the rice to a serving platter, and arrange the pork on the platter. Top with the gravy and garnish with the green onions.

SPICY PORK BURGERS WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the dried fruit chutney: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it begins to smoke lightly, then add the onions and garlic and sprinkle with the salt and red pepper flakes. Cook until the onions and garlic become translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar, cloves and cinnamon stick. Stir to blend and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes to let the vinegar mellow. Add the raisins, apricots, figs, cognac and 1 cup water and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
• For the black beans: Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the onions, oil and a generous pinch of salt. Add the sugar and cook until the onions are caramelized and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and beans and cook so the ingredients meld together, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• For the spicy pork burgers: Break up the meat in a medium bowl and spread it up on the sides so that the seasoning can really permeate the meat. Add the sherry, soy sauce, Worcestershire and cayenne. Mix with your hands to make sure all of the flavors get integrated but do not overmix. (The more you work the meat, the tougher the burger.) Form the meat into 4 even patties about 3/4-inch thick.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the patties in a single layer in the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat and cook, undisturbed, for 5 to 6 minutes. Rotate the patties a quarter turn and cook until cooked through, 3 to 5 more minutes. Use a metal spatula to flip the patties on their second sides and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and place 2 slices of American cheese on each patty. Let the patties rest in the skillet so the cheese melts.
• Arrange the roll bottoms on a work surface and top with lettuce. Top the lettuce with the patties, spoon some of the chutney and black beans on each and finish with the roll tops.
