Ingredients

• 500 grams ground pork
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.5 whole red onion, finely diced
• 50 grams breadcrumbs
• 1 whole egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 whole burger buns
• 4 whole lettuce leaves
• 1 whole tomato, sliced
• 100 grams mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika (for aioli)
• 0 as desired optional toppings (cheese, pickles, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, smoked paprika, minced garlic, fresh parsley, diced red onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

Step 3

Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook them for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F).

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the zesty aioli by combining mayonnaise, lemon juice, and paprika in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns on a grill or in a toaster for a light golden crust.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the pork patty, and any optional toppings like cheese or pickles. Finish with the top bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries, a green salad, or roasted vegetables.
