Pork Burgers With Caraway Recipes

PORK BURGERS WITH CARAWAY

Steps:

• Place the pork in a mixing bowl. Add the caraway seeds, cumin, salt and pepper. Blend with the fingers. Do not overmix.
• Divide the mixture into 8 portions of equal size. Using the fingers, shape the portions into neat round flat patties about 1/2-inch thick.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the patties. Cook on one side about 5 minutes. Turn and cook for 5 minutes more or until well done. Remove to a warm serving platter. Cover with foil and keep warm.
• Pour off the fat from the skillet and add the olive oil, onion and garlic. Cook until wilted. Do not brown the garlic. Add the vinegar, tomatoes, sage, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, about 3 minutes. Pour over the patties and serve.

CAJUN PORK BURGERS

Steps:

• Cut sausage into large chunks and place in a food processor. Grind sausage into crumbles. Combine ground sausage with pork, vegetables, garlic, thyme, hot sauce and a little salt and pepper. Form mixture into patties and cook 7 minutes on each side on an indoor electric grill preheated to high. To cook in a skillet, heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat and cook burgers 6 to 7 minutes on each side. For outdoor grill, cook patties 6-inches from hot coals or over medium high gas heat 6 minutes on each side, covered.
• Mix chili sauce, mayonnaise, and sweet relish in a small bowl. Serve burgers on crusty rolls with special sauce, lettuce, and tomato. Serve with red bean salad and Cajun oven fries.
• P.S. Don't forget a cold beer for Pop!

PERFECT PORK BURGERS

Steps:

• Pulse the bacon and garlic in a food processor until coarsely ground.
• Combine the ground pork, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the sage in a large bowl. Add the bacon mixture and gently mix with your hands. Gently form the meat into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties. Make a 2-inch-wide indentation in the center of each with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when grilled.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Season the patties with pepper. Grill, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and grill until the other side is marked and the patties feel firm, 4 to 6 more minutes. Meanwhile, spread the cut sides of the buns with butter and toast on the grill.
• Serve the patties on the buns; top with coleslaw.
