Dry Pork Burgers
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

The burgers were very dry. If you're not use to eating ground pork this may not be a first try recipe.

Amazing burger!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love food with a spicy kick, and this burger was incredible! I didn't even need to make the ketchup, because the burger on... its own already had amazing flavor. Thanks Sunny!Read more

Mannnnnnnnnnnn
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Sunny hit this one out of the park. I had read the reveiws of this one before trying this one. I am a hardcore bachelor chef.... Yes, I do a lot of box mix cooking due to speed and ease. But in the last few years I have opened up the experimentation side of my cooking. I didn't make the spicy ketchup with the burgers... and like almost everyone else I put a subtle spin on it to suit me and what I had in house at the time. I also used the regular 75/25 beef rather than ground pork. In place of the ketchup i used a horseradish sauce because I feel that always complements beef. Now, istead of conventional skillet cooking... i tossed this on my Foreman grill.... Yes, BACHELOR COOKING at it's finest ladies. Anyways... my fiance adores my attempts and the results were a moist tender seared burger without effort... if you got a dry burger out of this... you overcooked it or fell asleep and screwed up. Stick to McD's and Burger King drive thru window ordering.Read more

Excellent Change of Pace
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Had purchased a pound of ground pork to put in a meatloaf mixture, but worked late and did not have time for that. So, I... wondered what I could do with the pork in 20mins and found this recipe. Cut back the spices to match my ratio of meat (1 vs. 2.5lbs). We like curry powder so might add a bit more next time, but these were really flavorful and an impressive change of pace. The key here is a medium-high heat pan, so the burgers get crisp, cooked through, but remain moist. Made the ketchup and it was very good, but as a choice also served tamarind chutney by Taaza. (wow). Skipped the bun and served with some coucous, green beans and store-bought naan (i know most people don't have this sitting around!). My boyfrined ate two burgers and was eyeing a third. (For those not as familiar with ground pork, make sure to use regular ground pork, not the Lean Generation brand, which is injected with water and will not crisp up). Read more
