Pork & apple burgers
 |
Ingredients
400g Sausage meat, 1 apple, sage, 1/2 white onion, butter |
Making burgers is so quick and simple that I refuse to entertain the idea that there is any excuse for the kind of specimens that come under the category of "convenience food" and "fast food". They're unhealthy, low quality and truly no faster. Pork, apple and sage are such classic flavour combinations - give this a try as a fun BBQ alternative to beef.
1) Peel and finely dice half a white onion, peel, core and dice the apple and and fry both together in a little butter with some chopped sage for 2 minutes.
2) Combine the onions, apple and sausage meat - you could use a blender but I prefer to leave the apple chunks intact and use my hands. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper first.
3) Form patties with your hands, packing the meat quite tightly and either BBQ, grill or bake in the oven. For best results, sizzle the outside of the burger first using the juices from the onion, apple & sage pan.
I served with fresh lettuce from the garden and ketchup in a burger bun
