Background

This is a super-easy burger but rather different to your usual beef-burger. So it's really good for a party or a weekend barbecue with friends & family. You can go with the Greek theme and serve it in pita rather than a bun and with tzatziki rather than coleslaw.

Ingredients

500g minced pork
1 onion
1 garlic clove, crushed
50g breadcrumbs
2 tsp dried oregano
To serve: buns/rolls/pita, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickled cucumber slices, coleslaw etc.

Instructions

Chop the onion very finely and combine with the meat, garlic, breadcrumbs and oregano.
Season to taste, then form 4-6 balls and press between your palms. Brush both sides with some oil and barbecue or griddle for 5-7 minutes on each side.
Meanwhile, cut the buns in half, toast or grill them until lightly charred.
Assemble the burger: spread some mustard on the lower part of the bun, layer the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber or coleslaw salad, then add the burger and top with the upper bun. Enjoy!
