pork burger with fresh pineapple chilli chutney method
First make the easy fresh chutney. In a medium nonreactive stainless steel or enamel frying pan on medium heat, add the olive oil and sliced onion and sauté for about 4 minutes or until soft and just starting to colour. Add the chilli and ginger, cook for another few minutes or until fragrant. Add the red wine vinegar, water, pineapple, brown sugar and salt and cook stirring occasionally until thick and syrupy. Remove from the heat.
In a medium bowl, mix together the pork mince, finely diced red onion and chopped coriander. Season generously with salt and pepper. Using either your clean hands or a large metal spoon mix again until all the ingredients are well combined and the mince is slightly sticky. Form into 4 large burgers. Add the olive oil to a large frying pan on a medium high heat or a barbecue flat plate, cook the burgers on both sides until golden and cooked through, but still juicy (about 5-6 minutes).
Lightly spread the base of the toasted buns with mayonnaise and then the salad leaves, add the burger, a large spoonful of fresh pineapple relish and finally the lid of the bun. Serve with hot chips and plenty of napkins.
