Dr Nick S Bison Pork Burgers Recipes

DR NICK'S BISON & PORK BURGERS

Steps:

• Wash your hands!
• Finely chop the red onion and add to bison and pork in a large mixing bowl (the bigger the better). Mix together briefly by hand.
• Add remaining ingredients and mix throughly by hand until mixture is homogenous. No egg necessary.
• Form mixture into 10 equal balls. Place each ball individually onto plastic cling wrap and form into patties (nice and thick). Wrap patty in cling wrap and freeze for later use, or cook immediately on the barbeque.
• Serve with whatever burger condiments you desire.

BISON BURGER WITH GARLIC MAYO AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• To make the burgers:
• In a large bowl mix the bison, beef sirloin, onions, garlic, and parsley until just combined. Add in the onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, ketchup, Worcestershire, and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper. Add it all to the meat mixture and mix well to combine. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and cook a small portion of the meat. Taste the cooked beef to see if you need to add salt. Add salt to the meat mixture to taste. Divide the meat into 4 evenly portioned round patties and set aside.
• To make the onions:
• Heat the bacon fat over medium-high heat in a large saute pan and add the onions. Cook for 1 minute, then season with salt. Cook the onions, stirring a lot, until they start to turn brown. If the onions start sticking to the pan and turning too dark, pour in a spoonful of water and scrape with a wooden spoon to pull them off the pan. Continue to cook and stir the onions until they're dark brown and caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• To make the mayonnaise:
• In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper, to taste and mix well.
• To serve:
• Reheat the large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some olive oil. Heat the olive oil then place the burger patties in the pan. Cook for 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Top the burgers with a slice of cheese. To assemble, spread some garlic mayo on the bottom of the toasted bun. Put the burger on the mayo, top with caramelized onions, and then arugula. Cover with a bun top. Stick a toothpick into a cornichon and then stick into the top of the burger and serve.

DR NICK'S PORK SOFT TACOS

Steps:

• Wash your hands!
• Trim excess fat from roast.
• Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and rub over the entire surface of the pork.
• Place pork in a slow cooker. Add water until roast is approximately half submerged. Add vinegar and remaining dry ingredients to the water and stir.
• Place slow cooker on low and leave for 6-8 hours, turning occasionally if you can.
• Remove roast from slow cooker. At this stage it's easy to remove any membrane that may be attached to the surface. Shred the pork using two forks and transfer to a large frying pan.
• Add about half the liquid to the pan and simmer gently until most of the liquid has reduced. You want the meat to be moist but not swimming.
• Serve in pre-warmed corn tortillas. I add chopped tomato and spanish onion with just a few drops of hot sauce.
• Enjoy!
