Pork Burgers

It’s definitely BBQ season again! Burgers make a great quick meal – either for lunch or dinner. Home made burger patties are always delicious, and if you’re really organised, you can make a whole lot at once and freeze them, so that they are ready if a crowd arrives.

They are also an ideal way to fill up hungry tummies of all ages. Pork mince makes a wonderful burger pattie, and for those who find that garlic and onion repeats on them a bit – these are a tasty alternative.

You can fill them with whatever salad vegetables you have available, and add your favourite sauces.

Pork Burger Patties

You will need:

500g pork mince

2 tsp minced ginger

2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp chopped herbs (coriander or basil works really well)

1 egg

1/2 cup rolled oats

breadcrumbs

Mix all ingredients together well, form into patties and coat with breadcrumbs. If you are freezing them, a handy tip is to freeze them on baking trays, them once they are frozen, pop them into plastic bags.

These patties are ideal for the BBQ or to pan fry.
