Ingredients

2 tablespoons fennel seed
1/2 cup finely diced onion
3 small garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
1 pound ground pork, preferably sirloin
1 cup minced bacon, (about 3 thick strips, slightly frozen before chopping)
4 soft burger rolls or sandwich buns
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup shredded fennel bulb, plus chopped fronds
1 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage

Steps:

To cook burgers: Prepare a grill.
Gently toast fennel seeds in a dry skillet until aromatic.
In a large bowl, combine fennel seeds, onion, garlic, salt and smoked paprika.
Add pork and bacon. Toss gently until well mixed, without overworking meat.
Divide into four portions and shape into patties. Place on a plate or platter and chill for at least one hour.
Cook burgers for about 6 minutes on hot side of grill. After 3 minutes, flip and cook 3 more minutes, then move to cool part of grill for 3 more minutes. Burgers can also be fried in a pan over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes on each side. Let burgers rest for a few minutes, tented with foil, before serving.
To prepare slaw: Whisk vinegars, mustard and salt in a bowl until salt is dissolved. Add oil and whisk until emulsified.
Place fennel bulb and cabbage into bowl and toss to combine with dressing. Add fennel fronds and toss again just before serving.
Place burgers on toasted or lightly grilled buns and top each with a little slaw.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup pimento-stuffed Spanish olives
4 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Choose high-quality ground pork for the best flavour and texture.
Use a variety of seasonings and spices to create a flavorful burger. Common choices include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
Add moisture to the burger mixture with eggs, breadcrumbs, or grated vegetables. This will help to prevent the burgers from becoming dry and crumbly.
Chill the burger mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the burgers to hold their shape and cook evenly.
Cook the burgers over medium heat to prevent them from burning on the outside and staying raw on the inside.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
