Background

If you're after an interesting burger try this Thai-style pork burger which is succulent, sweet, spiced and absolutely delicious. Perfect for a BBQ or weekend parties! The patties don't have any dairy nor eggs and you can use gluten-free buns or serve it with rice, chips or just a salad too.

Ingredients

500g minced pork
30g salted peanuts
1 small bunch spring onions
1 cm ginger
zest of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp soy sauce (light)
1 tsp runny honey
1 pinch dried chilli flakes
1 handful coriander leaves (cilantro)
For the glaze:
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp olive oil
To serve: buns, sweet chilli sauce, sour cream (or crème fraîche), lettuce, radish slices, cress or coriander leaves,

Instructions

Finely chop the nuts, thinly slice the spring onions and chop the coriander.
Mix these with the other ingredients in a large bowl. Season to taste with
salt and pepper. If time allows, rest under cover for about 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.
Mix the ingredients together for the glaze.
Take the mince mixture out of the fridge and, with wet hands, form 5-6 balls of it. Press these down between your palms to create patties.
Brush the patties with the glaze, then cook them on a barbecue, grill or in a griddle pan for 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Meanwhile, cut the buns in half, then toast or grill them slightly (cut-side downwards).
To serve: spread a spoonful of sour cream on the bottom half of the buns, add a piece of lettuce and some radish slices, then some sweet chilli sauce. Put the burger on it, topped with some radish slices and cress leaves. Cover with the other half of the roll and enjoy!
