Cooking Steps
• Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Thinly slice brown onion. Slice tomato into rounds. Thinly slice pear into wedges. • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar (for the salad), the honey and drizzle of olive oil. • Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add the balsamic vinegar (for the onion), a splash of water and the brown sugar and mix well. • Cook, stirring, until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
• While the onion is cooking, combine the pork mince, Italian herbs, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients), egg and the salt in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Shape the pork mixture into patties, a little larger than a burger bun. You should get one patty per person. Transfer to a plate. TIP: Make a shallow indent in the centre of each patty to help prevent it puffing up as it cooks.
• Place shredded Cheddar cheese in even circles (about the same size as your buns, 1 per person) on a lined oven tray. • Bake until cheese is golden and crispy at edges, 10 minutes (watch it doesn’t burn!).
While the Cheddar crisps are baking, wipe out the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the pork patties until cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side. Bake the bake-at-home burger buns directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 3 minutes.
• Slice the burger buns in half. Spread some burger sauce over the base of each bun and top with a pork patty, tomato, a Cheddar crisp, some caramelised onion and mixed salad leaves. • Add the pear, remaining tomato and mixed salad to the medium bowl with the dressing and toss to coat. Serve the salad with the burgers. Enjoy!
