Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 0.5 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces sliced tomatoes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, diced onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat a grill or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
Cook the burger patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
While the burgers are cooking, mix the Greek yogurt with chopped cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl to create the sauce. Set aside.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a dollop of the yogurt sauce on the bottom bun, top with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the pork patty, and finish with more yogurt sauce. Cover with the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a fresh salad.
