Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 whole red onion, finely diced
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 whole egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 whole burger buns
- 4 whole lettuce leaves
- 1 whole tomato, sliced
- 100 grams mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (for aioli)
- as desired optional toppings (cheese, pickles, etc.)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, smoked paprika, minced garlic, fresh parsley, diced red onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper.
Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook them for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F).
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the zesty aioli by combining mayonnaise, lemon juice, and paprika in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Toast the burger buns on a grill or in a toaster for a light golden crust.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the pork patty, and any optional toppings like cheese or pickles. Finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries, a green salad, or roasted vegetables.
