So good pork burger
Recipe from Jamie Oliver · original post · full recipe on jamieoliver.com
Topped with oozy blue cheese and sweet pear, this pork burger recipe from Jamie's 5 Ingredients cookbook is next-level delicious!
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
