Pork and apple burgers with chips

Juicy pork burgers with grated apple and sage mixed through, in soft buns with oven chips. Like a roast pork sandwich, in burger form.

Ingredients

• 500 g Pork mince
• 1 Apples, peeled and coarsely grated
• 0.5 Onions, very finely chopped
• 1 g Dried sage
• 40 g Breadcrumbs
• 1 g Black pepper
• 15 ml Vegetable oil
• 4 Burger buns, split
• 800 g Oven chips
• 0.5 Lettuce, leaves separated
• 2 Tomatoes, sliced
• 60 g Apple sauce

Method

1. Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Spread the chips on a large tray and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until crisp.
2. Squeeze the grated apple to get rid of some of the juice, then mix it with the pork, onion, sage, breadcrumbs and plenty of pepper using your hands.
3. Shape into 4 burgers about 2cm thick and press a dip in the middle of each with your thumb so they stay flat. Chill for 10 minutes if you have time.
4. Fry in the oil over a medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes each side until browned and cooked all the way through, with no pink in the middle.
5. Warm the buns cut-side down in the pan for a minute once the burgers are out.
6. Put each burger in a bun with lettuce, tomato and a spoonful of apple sauce, and serve with the chips.
