Time 25m

Yield 4 burgers

5 slices bacon
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground pork
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
Freshly ground pepper
4 potato buns, split
Unsalted butter, softened, for spreading
Coleslaw, for topping

Steps:

BARBECUE PORK BURGERS



Barbecue Pork Burgers image

These burgers take their inspiration from barbecued pulled pork, so it's no surprised that the patties themselves are made with chopped red onion and barbecue sauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes     Ground Pork Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds ground pork
1 small red onion, minced, plus slices for serving
3/4 cup store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for grates
4 soft onion rolls, split horizontally

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, place pork, minced onion, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix very gently with a fork to combine, being careful not to overwork meat (which would make burgers dense).
  • Gently form meat into 4 equal-size patties, 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. With thumb, make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation in the center of each (this helps keep burgers flat during grilling).
  • Moisten a folded paper towel with oil; grasp with tongs and rub over grates. Season burgers with salt and pepper; grill until cooked throughout, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
  • Serve on onion rolls (toasted on grill, if you like), with sliced onion and remaining barbecue sauce.

SPICY PORK BURGERS WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHUTNEY



Spicy Pork Burgers with Black Beans and Chutney image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
3 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cinnamon stick
3/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried apricots, halved
1/2 cup chopped dried figs
1/2 cup cognac
3 large red onions, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 pounds ground pork shoulder
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
8 slices American cheese
4 seeded hamburger rolls, halved
16 to 20 Bibb lettuce leaves

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: Use ground pork that is at least 80% lean. This will help the burgers stay juicy and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Season the pork well: Pork burgers can handle a lot of flavor, so don't be afraid to season them generously. A good starting point is 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder per pound of pork.
  • Mix in some aromatics: Adding finely chopped onions, garlic, or herbs to the pork mixture will help to add flavor and moisture to the burgers.
  • Form the burgers gently: Don't overmix the pork mixture, as this will make the burgers tough. Instead, mix just until the ingredients are combined, then form the burgers into patties that are about 3/4-inch thick.
  • Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the burgers while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Don't overcook the burgers: Pork burgers are best cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers, making them more tender and flavorful.
