Pork and corn burgers

Use pork mince flavoured with ginger and sweet chilli to make these Asian-inspired burgers. Sweetcorn gives them an extra bite. Serve in buns with plenty of crisp salad.

Ingredients

  • 800g pork mince

  • 1 cup corn kernels

    if using frozen, defrost first

  • 1 small onion

    finely diced

  • 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

  • 2 tsp ginger

    minced

  • 1/4 telegraph cucumber

    sliced

  • 1-2 tomatoes

    sliced

  • 1 avocado

    cut into quarters and peeled

  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 6-7 lettuce leaves

  • 5-6 large buns

Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 chargrill or barbecue
  • 1 foil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl add pork mince, corn, onion, sweet chilli and ginger. Using clean hands, start mixing. When well combined, roll into patties and keep in the fridge until needed.
  2. Heat chargrill or barbecue on high, sprinkle patties with salt and pepper and a splash of oil then place on the grill and cook until done. This will take approximately 7 minutes on one side and 6 on the other.
  3. Remove from grill and cover with foil to rest for 5 minutes.
  4. While the meat rests, cut a burger bun in half, spread with mayonnaise then add lettuce, tomato, avocado and cucumber.
  5. Place patty on top and serve with oven chips.

Notes

Tip
If you have kids who hate onion, don’t put it in the patty mixture, instead cut thick slices and chargrill with your patties and put it on top of your burger- delicious!
Tip
If you’re making oven chips, put them in the oven before you start cooking your burgers as they usually take about 20 minutes in a 210°C oven.
Variation
These burgers are great for people who are allergic to eggs and wheat (omit the bun to make this recipe gluten free).
