Ingredients
For the pork spice blend (see note 1):
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the pork burgers:
- 2 pounds ground pork (see note 2)
- 4 ounces feta cheese (see note 3)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 (16-ounce) jar pickled beets (see note 4)
- 6 Brioche buns or other burger buns, split
- 1/4 cup butter softened
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine garlic powder, coriander, fennel, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper). Mix well.
- Add pork and gently mix until seasonings are distributed evenly. Form into 6 patties approximately 1/2-inch thick each.
- Preheat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add patties (frying in batches if necessary) and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side or until a thermometer inserted at the thickest part reaches 160 degrees.
- While the burgers are cooking, in a small bowl combine feta cheese, mayonnaise, and mustard and mix well. Drain 2 to 3 pickled beet slices per person.
- Transfer burgers to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Spread cut sides of buns with butter and toast in skillet or on grill until golden brown.
- To assemble the burgers, spread the bottom of each toasted bun with some of the feta mustard. Top each with a pork burger and 2 to 3 pickled beet slices.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Pork spice blend: This simple blend of spices flavors the ground pork and makes it absolutely delicious.
- Ground pork: Plain ground pork, on pork sausage or mild or sweet Italian sausage.
- Feta mustard: This mouth-watering spread is made up of whole-grain mustard, feta cheese, and mayonnaise. All the best toppings mixed together!
- Pickled beets: I like Aunt Nellie's brand. They are sweet and acidic and it really just completes the burger.
- Yield: This recipe makes 6 delicious pork burgers on buns.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Make ahead: The feta mustard can be made the day before (stir to recombine before serving). The patties can also be assembled and stored covered in the refrigerator a day in advance. And of course, the pickled beets (should you choose to make them) can be made weeks in advance.
