SPICY PORK BURGERS WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHUTNEY

Steps:
- For the dried fruit chutney: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it begins to smoke lightly, then add the onions and garlic and sprinkle with the salt and red pepper flakes. Cook until the onions and garlic become translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar, cloves and cinnamon stick. Stir to blend and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes to let the vinegar mellow. Add the raisins, apricots, figs, cognac and 1 cup water and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
- For the black beans: Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the onions, oil and a generous pinch of salt. Add the sugar and cook until the onions are caramelized and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and beans and cook so the ingredients meld together, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
- For the spicy pork burgers: Break up the meat in a medium bowl and spread it up on the sides so that the seasoning can really permeate the meat. Add the sherry, soy sauce, Worcestershire and cayenne. Mix with your hands to make sure all of the flavors get integrated but do not overmix. (The more you work the meat, the tougher the burger.) Form the meat into 4 even patties about 3/4-inch thick.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the patties in a single layer in the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat and cook, undisturbed, for 5 to 6 minutes. Rotate the patties a quarter turn and cook until cooked through, 3 to 5 more minutes. Use a metal spatula to flip the patties on their second sides and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and place 2 slices of American cheese on each patty. Let the patties rest in the skillet so the cheese melts.
- Arrange the roll bottoms on a work surface and top with lettuce. Top the lettuce with the patties, spoon some of the chutney and black beans on each and finish with the roll tops.

Steps:
- Gently mix ground pork, ground turkey, chili powder, coarse salt, and dried oregano and ground cumin. Divide into eight equal portions; shape into 4 1/2-inch-diameter patties.
- Heat grill to high. Lightly oil grates. Place patties on grill; cover grill, and cook until centers are no longer pink and register 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 3 minutes per side. (If desired, place a slice of cheese on top of each burger about 1 minute after flipping.) Serve on a whole-wheat bun spread with Chipotle Mayonnaise (optional).
Tips:
- Use ground pork shoulder: It's more flavorful and juicy than other cuts of pork.
- Add some fat: Ground pork can be lean, so adding some fat, like bacon or butter, will help keep the burgers moist.
- Season the pork well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Don't overmix the pork: Overmixing will make the burgers tough.
- Form the burgers gently: Don't press down on them too hard, or they'll be dense.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the burgers: They're done when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the burgers rest before serving: This will help them retain their juices.
Conclusion:
Pork burgers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They're perfect for a casual weeknight meal, a backyard barbecue, or a party. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of pork burgers that will please everyone at your table.
