foodie post


These pork cheeseburgers, with a little Latin flair, are a delightful
variation of the regular beef variety. All at the manor gave them a
huge two thumbs up. They're extra juicy and so flavorful. This
recipe is another great find from the June issue of Gourmet. Give
them a whirl and let me know what you think. I'm definitely making
them again soon.


Chipotle Pork Cheeseburgers


1 lb fresh ground pork (not lean)
2 tsp minced canned chipotle in adobo, plus 1 tsp adobo sauce
2 garlic cloves forced through press
4 slices Muenster cheese
4 hamburger buns, toasted
1/4 cup mayo
1 large tomatillo, husked, rinsed and sliced (I couldn't find one, so
subbed a tomato, but the tomatillo would have made a difference.)
1/2 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup cilantro sprigs


Mix the pork with the chipotle and garlic, with salt to taste, until just
combined. Form into four patties and grill. Melt cheese on patties.
Top with mayo, tomatillo, avocado, cilantro. Yum. Yum. Yum.

I'm missing out by not subscribing to that magazine. I love to cook and bake but haven't done either in quite a while. Perhaps I need a little inspiration!

By the way, I finally got around to watching A Man and a Woman. Tres chic chic, no?! It was sophistication, romance, melancholy and nostalgia all rolled into one making for a nice afternoon.

Vicki Lane said...

Mmmm! Sounds great. I'll give this a try for sure!

Renee Finberg said...

I never would have considered ground pork. It looks good tho, and easy enough for me to do. I will definitely give it a shot.

ps- I love the manor happenings

SweetPeaSurry said...

That looks absolutely delish, and I'll be giving it a go!

Yumm-o!

Hello Willow,

The Pork Burgers sound great. I love chilis. Frequently marinate my steaks in chipotle. Use cascabel, guajillo, anchos etc... in my pot roast with garlic, prunes etc.... Absolutely delicious. Tonight I made Osso Bucco with oranges and various olives etc.. served on a bed of couscous. Had my neighbor over for a lovely evening. Time now for a nice cigar, a Camacho 11/18 if you really must know. Very tasty!

Ciao Bella,

David

I am reminded it is past my lunch-time and I am starving. I wish I had the ingredients at home to make these! I would love them and some big home-made chips to go with them. xx

Ronda Laveen said...

May I ask you when you're planning to take over Mc Donald's, KFC and Burger Kind, please? Because I will be the first one through the door to sign up to your loyalty card/scheme.

Willow, this was a great recipe and as a meat lover (yes, omnivore, whatevs :-D) this dish is up my street. I will be on it in no time. By the way, some time later and very delayed I made your poached egg recipe and it came out OK. I was not totally bowled over by it, but that's because I am very demanding. Many thanks for such fabulous recipe.

Greetings from London.

Hello Willow,

It's a good thing that it's lunch time and I have a sandwich to tuck into! It looks scrummy in the pic. It's a long time since I've had a burger of any description.

Reya Mellicker said...

Sounds delicious. Yum!

Loved yesterday's post, all the ideas, the images and of course the poem. I love your thoughtfulness, Willow, love your depth. I salute you!

mouse (aka kimy) said...

not only do these sound deliciousbut the pic is marvelous

however, last night I went to see the new documentary Food Inc -- if it didn't turn me back into a vegetarian, you can be sure I will be changing the ways and wheres I buy meat!

Daryl said...

Glad to see Gourmet is getting such good use .. would you like to get Bon Appetite as well? I have connections ..

Abe Lincoln said...

Oh my gosh...

We just had those the other night and while nobody gave them two thumbs up everyone who got one ate it and thanked the chef for making it. I had to have my dill pickles afterwards. Of course, my mothers advise for "cutting the grease" and preventing an upset stomach. Nobody in our family has had an upset stomach due to greasy foods. Not as long as we have dill pickles.

Think it is the vinegar.

Thank you very much for visiting my Brookville Daily Photo blog and for the comment you left me there.

NB:

The stone is a pink tourmaline and there were diamonds on each side. My wife, Patty, got this for me back in about 1955.

Jill said...

Wow...I have never tried pork before but will do so...this sounds SOOOOOOOO good!

The Weaver of Grass said...

Oh dear willow - they look so scrumptious but there are so many things in that recipe that we have never heard of in UK that there is no way I can make them - so sad as they sound so good.

A Brush with Color said...

That sounds yummy. I will have to jot that down. I'd like to try 'em! Margaritas do sound good with those!

julochka said...
