This pork burger recipe is a favorite of ours. We had a similar burger in Hawaii and once home, I experimented and came up with this tasty version that we actually prefer to the original. I like to serve them with a salad or fresh corn on the cob. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Categories main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Ingredients

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced into 1/4-to-1/2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shredded smoked mozzarella (8 ounces)
6 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, finely diced
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and shredded
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
Vegetable oil cooking spray
Olive oil, for drizzling
6 soft burger buns, halved
Serving suggestion: Lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes

Steps:

For the chutney: Bring the apples, onion, apple juice, vinegar, maple syrup and thyme to a boil over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has almost evaporated and the apples are soft, about 45 minutes. Cool and season with salt and pepper. The chutney can be made 1 day in advance.
For the burgers: In a large bowl, combine the cheese, pancetta, apple, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Add the pork and mix well. Form the mixture into 6 burgers, each 4 1/2-inch in diameter and 3/4-inch thick.
Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Oil the grill with vegetable oil cooking spray. Drizzle the burgers with oil. Cook on low heat until cooked through, for 10 minutes on each side. The burgers are also ready when a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees F when inserted into the side of the burgers. Allow the burgers to rest for 10 minutes.
Place the burgers on buns and top with chutney. Serve with lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes if desired.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your burgers.
Don't overwork the meat. Overworking the meat will make it tough.
Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them retain their juices.
Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion.

Conclusion:

Pork and apple burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your pork and apple burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
