Pork Burgers

Pork burgers and a new twist on "the burger." I love pork and I love burgers - I'm very excited to try this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb ground pork)
2 tbsp rubbed sage
1/2 ea red onion -- finely diced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 c bread crumbs
2 ea eggs -- beaten
1/2 c flour
salt and pepper
3 tbsp vegetable oil or bacon grease

DIRECTIONS: 1. Mix together pork, 1 tablespoon sage, soy sauce, and salt & pepper being careful not to overwork the mixture. Form into patties and chill about 30 minutes.
2. Mix together bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon sage, and additional salt and pepper. Lightly dredge patties in flour, then coat in egg, then coat in bread crumbs. Chill another 30 minutes and heat oven to 375F.
3. Heat vegetable oil (or bacon grease if you have it) in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook until browned on one side -- about four minutes. Flip patties and cook another two minutes, then place pan in oven on middle rack and cook another 15 minutes.
Serves 4.


The onion buns are a good choice with this pork burger.
Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce, and a slice of sharp cheddar and of course - hot peppers
