THE PERFECT PORK BURGER RECIPE - UNLIKE BEEF IT'S TRANS FAT FREE
A yummy, healthier version of my Perfect Burger recipe, which is made with beef. In an attempt to eliminate trans fats from our diet, my fiancee and I have discovered that almost ALL ground beef, extra lean or not, has trans fats! We went without burgers for months until we found trans-fat-free ground pork at our grocery. I've also recently discovered the wonders of paprika in just about everything, and came up with this slight variation for a healthier burger! My fiancee LOVES them, I make them at least once a week.

Steps:
- Chop your onions while you preheat a non-stick frypan or barbeque at medium heat.
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl, and mix thoroughly. I use my hands, but you can use a fork or spoon. Wear gloves for safety against bacteria and food-borne illnesses!
- If you have to let the mixture sit, DO NOT mix in the oats and cornflake crumbs until just before you will cook them. Otherwise, the grains absorb too mcuh liquid and get mushy, making the mixture fall apart.
- The mixture should hold together quite well and not crumble. If it does, you probably need a little more of the oats and cornflake crumbs.
- Form the mixture into 4-6 patties (depending on the size of your buns). Keep in mind these do not shrink at much as beef burgers normally do - they hardly shrink at all actually.
- Fry or barbeque on medium heat for a few minutes per side.
- Garnish with your favourite toppings and enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- If grilling or broiling, heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire. Put beef, shallot, garlic, capers and anchovy, if using, into a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground - finer than chopped, but not much. Put it into a bowl with parsley, Tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix gently, then taste and adjust seasoning. Handling meat as lightly as possible to avoid compressing it, shape it into 4 or more burgers.
- To broil or grill, cook about 3 minutes on each side for rare and another minute per side for each increasing stage of doneness. For stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes, then add patties; cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then rotate them so they brown evenly. Turn once and cook for a total of about 6 minutes for rare.
- Garnish with chopped medium-cooked egg, capers, whole anchovies, diced sweet white onion, chopped parsley and peeled lemon slices.

Steps:
- Cook 8 ounces finely chopped cremini mushrooms in oil until browned; season with salt and pepper and let cool. Mix the mushrooms with 1-pound ground beef; form into 1/2-inch-thick patties and cook in a hot oiled skillet for 1 1/2 minutes per side.
Tips:
- Choose the right beef: Use ground chuck or sirloin for a juicy and flavorful burger.
- Season the beef properly: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the beef.
- Mix the beef gently: Overmixing the beef will make it tough. Mix it just enough to combine the ingredients.
- Form the patties: Make the patties about 1/2 inch thick and 4 inches wide.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help prevent the burgers from drying out.
- Flip the burgers only once: Flipping the burgers too often will make them tough.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the burgers for doneness: The burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the burgers rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers.
