Cooking Time: 0 hr 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 500g minced pork
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped sage

Place the pork mince, crushed crackers, sage and apple in a bowl. Whisk the egg and add along with a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Mix well until even and form into six or 12 smaller patties.

Make an indentation with your thumb in the middle of each burger so that they are an even shape when cooked. Place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.

Grill or fry the burgers until completely cooked through, 4-6 minutes each side. Serve in warm burger buns with potato wedges and a salad.
