Steps:

  • Pork Burgers: 1. Gently toast the fennel seeds in a small dry skillet until aromatic, remove them from the pan and set aside. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the onion, garlic, fennel seeds, salt and smoked paprika, stirring to combine. 3. Add the pork and bacon, tossing gently until the seasonings are well incorporated, but taking care not to overwork the meat. 4. Divide the seasoned pork into four portions and shape into patties. 5. Place the patties onto a plate or platter and chill for at least one hour. 6. Light a grill and cook the burgers: 6 minutes over the hot side of the grill, rotating them after the first 3 minutes, then flipping them and cooking them for another 3 minutes on the hot side before moving them to the cool side of the grill for the final 3 minutes. 7. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow them to rest briefly, tented with foil, before serving. 8. Place the burgers on toasted or lightly grilled buns and top each one with a little of the fennel and cabbage slaw Slaw: 1. Combine the vinegars, dijon and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk until the salt is dissolved. 2. Add the oil and whisk until the dressing is emulsified. 3. Place the shredded fennel and cabbage in the bowl on top of the dressing, and toss to combine. 4. Add the fennel fronds and toss again just before serving

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of green and red cabbage.
  • Shred the cabbage and fennel as thinly as possible for a more delicate slaw.
  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the fennel thinly.
  • Toast the fennel seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. This will enhance their flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil for the dressing. This will make a big difference in the taste of the slaw.
  • Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar.
  • Toss the slaw with the dressing just before serving, so that the cabbage and fennel don't get soggy.
  • Serve the slaw immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
