Pork and Apple Burger

The Pork and Apple Burger combines savory ground pork with sweet, caramelized apples for a delicious twist on the classic American burger. Topped with fresh greens and a tangy sauce, this dish is both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Ground pork - 250 grams
• Granny Smith apple - 1 medium, diced
• Red onion - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Honey - 1 teaspoon (optional)
• Mustard - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced apple, red onion, and garlic until the apple is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the ground pork, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet, mixing well. Cook until the pork is browned and fully cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
3. While the pork is cooking, toast the whole wheat burger buns in a toaster or on a separate skillet until golden brown.
4. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the pork and apple mixture, and a drizzle of mustard. Add the top half of the bun.
5. Serve immediately, with a side of mixed greens if desired.
