Pork and Portobello Burgers image

This is a new-age version of a veggie burger (as in half and half, not a burger made from vegetables and grain), which you might also think of as a stuffed mushroom. It's terrific, hearty, unusual and really cool: a portobello filled with sausage meat and grilled. In this instance, a broiler will work, as will a skillet.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, fennel seed or parsley
Salt and ground black pepper
4 large portobello mushroom caps, stems removed
Olive oil
4 burger buns
Any burger fixings you like

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill; the heat should be medium-high and the rack about 4 inches from the heat.
  • Combine the ground pork, garlic, rosemary and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Use a spoon to lightly scrape away the gills of the mushrooms and hollow them slightly. Drizzle the mushrooms (inside and out) with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press 1/4 of the mixture into each of the hollow sides of the mushrooms; you want the meat to spread all the way across the width of the mushrooms. They should look like burgers.
  • Grill the burgers, meat side down, until the pork is well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until the top side of the mushrooms are browned and the mushrooms are tender, another 6 to 8 minutes. If you like, use an instant-read thermometer to check the interior temperature of the pork, which should be a minimum of 145 degrees.
  • Serve the burgers on buns (toasted, if you like) with any fixings you like.

This was my first time making pork burgers, and they turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, and the burgers were cooked perfectly. I served them on slider buns with coleslaw and pickles, and they were a big hit with my friends.

I made a few changes to this recipe to make it healthier. I used ground turkey instead of pork, and I swapped out the goat cheese for feta. I also grilled the burgers instead of frying them. They were still very flavorful and juicy, and I felt good a

I grilled these burgers over charcoal, and they turned out perfectly. The pork was cooked through but still moist, and the portobello mushrooms were nice and caramelized. I served them on brioche buns with arugula and goat cheese, and they were delic
