Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced into 1/4-to-1/2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shredded smoked mozzarella (8 ounces)
6 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, finely diced
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and shredded
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
Vegetable oil cooking spray
Olive oil, for drizzling
6 soft burger buns, halved
Serving suggestion: Lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes

Steps:

  • For the chutney: Bring the apples, onion, apple juice, vinegar, maple syrup and thyme to a boil over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has almost evaporated and the apples are soft, about 45 minutes. Cool and season with salt and pepper. The chutney can be made 1 day in advance.
  • For the burgers: In a large bowl, combine the cheese, pancetta, apple, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Add the pork and mix well. Form the mixture into 6 burgers, each 4 1/2-inch in diameter and 3/4-inch thick.
  • Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Oil the grill with vegetable oil cooking spray. Drizzle the burgers with oil. Cook on low heat until cooked through, for 10 minutes on each side. The burgers are also ready when a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees F when inserted into the side of the burgers. Allow the burgers to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Place the burgers on buns and top with chutney. Serve with lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes if desired.

These burgers were a bit dry, but the chutney was delicious. I think I'll try adding some more moisture to the burgers next time.

These burgers were easy to make and turned out great! The chutney was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's just a personal preference. Overall, I really enjoyed these burgers and would definitely recommend them.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my burgers didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a little too smoky for my taste, and the chutney was too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
