Dinner Tonight: Pork Patties With Lime Leaves And Cilantro Recipe

1. 1

   Chop the scallions, chiles, garlic, cilantro, and ginger. Stack the lime leaves on top of each other and roll them up, then finely shred them cross-wise. Transfer everything to a food processor and process until well-mixed into a paste. Scrape out into a bowl and set aside.

2. 2

   Cut up the bacon into small pieces and process it into a coarse mush. Scrape out into the same bowl with the herb mixture and add the ground pork. Add a pinch of salt and fresh pepper and mix the ingredients together. If possible, refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle.

3. 3

   Divide the pork into 12 or so balls of meat, then flatten into patties. Heat the oil in a large, heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties when the oil is very hot and cook over high heat, turning once, until brown and cooked through. Serve with white rice and a crisp iceberg salad.
