Succulent pork burger with bold spices, creamy sour cream, tangy mustard, and zesty sauerkraut.
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground juniper berries (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Sauerkraut (to top burgers)
  • Whole grain mustard (to top burgers)
  • Burger buns
Instructions:
  • Combine the salt, ground juniper berries, caraway seeds, and pepper with the ground pork using your hands, then mix in the chopped parsley and sour cream.
  • Shape the mixture into patties ranging from 1/4 pound to 1/2 pound each.
  • Sear the burger patties in a hot skillet with olive oil over medium heat until they reach an internal temperature of 155°F, about 4-5 minutes per side. Alternatively, grill the burgers on medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  • Toast the buns by placing them on the pan or grill while the burgers are resting.
  • Prepare the burgers: On a toasted bun half, layer each burger with a dollop of whole grain mustard and a sprinkle of sauerkraut.
