Ingredients

  • pear — ripe and sweet1 ea
  • mixed salad leaves — spinach, rocket and watercress50 g
  • pork mince150 g
  • burger bun — soft1 ea
  • blue cheese30 g

Method

  1. Slice the pear lengthways as finely as you can. Toss gently with the salad leaves, a little drizzle each of extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar, and a pinch of black pepper.
  2. Scrunch the minced pork in your clean hands with a pinch of seasoning, then shape into a 1cm-thick patty. Rub with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, then place in a large non-stick frying pan on a high heat for 2 minutes, while you halve and toast the bun alongside, removing it when golden.
  3. Flip the burger, then, after 2 minutes, crumble the blue cheese next to it to melt. Move the burger on top of the oozy cheese, jiggle around to coat, then put it on your bun base.
  4. Stack in as much pear and salad as the bun will hold, pop the lid on, squash and devour, with any extra salad on the side.

    So good plant-based burger

    • 150 g Plant-based mince instead of pork mince

    Plant-based mince patties cook in about the same time but can stick, so use a little more oil and flip carefully.

  • Gluten-free

    • 1 ea Gluten-free burger bun instead of burger bun

    Toast the gluten-free bun a little less, as it browns faster.
