Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 small, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.75 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1 large, sliced tomato
- 0.25 large, sliced red onion
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, coconut aminos, ground black pepper, ground ginger, smoked paprika, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil. Swirl to coat the surface of the skillet.
Once the skillet is hot, place the pork patties in the pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side, or until the bottom is well browned.
Flip the patties and continue to cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and no pink remains in the center.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes on a plate.
Assemble the burgers: Place each pork patty on a large lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato and a few slices of red onion.
Wrap the lettuce around the burger and serve immediately.
