Pork and apple burger


Recipe by: Nikolaj Juel
Serves: 4

Procedure

This burger has become one of my favourite meals, and I’ll be making lots of them at barbeques over the summer. It’s easy to make and tastes amazing. It’s important to choose relatively fatty meat, so it doesn’t get dry. Your butcher can make sure it’s just right.

Mix all the ingredients well. Fry a small sample so you can taste whether there’s enough salt in it. Season if necessary.

To serve

Slice the apple. Fry the apple in a little butter on a super-hot cast-iron frying pan until it’s golden on both sides.

Shape the burgers into 4 portions and grill them on both sides until they’re cooked through.

Halve the brioche buns and put them on the grill, over indirect heat. They should be golden and crispy on the inside.

Spread a little wholegrain dijon mustard on them. Put some rocket on the buns, then the meat and then the top buns.
