- ½ cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 wholegrain burger buns
- 2 cups salad vegetables
Method:
- COMBINE pork mince, apple, seeded mustard, onion, breadcrumbs, sage and egg in a bowl.
- DIVIDE mixture into 4 even patties.
- HEAT a large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat.
- ADD patties to the pan and cook on each side for 6 minutes.
- COMBINE the macadamia nuts and Dijon mustard in a separate bowl.
- SPREAD macadamia mustard onto the burger buns and top with patty and salad vegetables.
What's Great About It:
These burgers are a great addition to any lunch, dinner or picnic. Pork is lean and has great flavour plus the addition of apple adds a touch of sweetness which pairs well with the macadamia mustard. Enjoy at any meal with a salad or side of steamed veggies. The addition of macadamias to the mustard provides a nutty texture but feel free to experiment with almonds and toasted cashews for something different.
