Grilled Pork Burgers

This pork burger is “da bomb” with a blast of flavor, crunchy slaw, and spicy homemade yum yum sauce. I made a few tweaks based on what I had, and the burgers were delicious. I only had a pound of ground pork and I used the full amounts of all the ingredients for the pork and the burgers were perfectly seasoned; if using a pound and a half as the recipe calls for I would increase the ingredients accordingly.

I made my own slaw with radicchio, fennel, red onion, and grated carrot. The ingredients came to just under two pounds so I doubled the dressing ingredients. The leftover slaw was great the next day all by itself. I used smoked paprika for the yum yum sauce; water was not necessary for a good consistency, nor was the melted butter, and I would not bother with it next time.

I grilled the burgers on a gas grill for 6 minutes a side and salted the patties before I put them on the grill. They made a perfect tasty crunchy savory supper, nothing else was needed. An 8 ounce burger for each of us; we spent the day working outside on the farm and building an appetite.
