Garlicky Pork Burger

1. 1

   Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill.

2. 2

   Or, on stove top, heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat for 3 or 4 minutes.

3. 3

   Put meat, salt, pepper, garlic and fennel in food processor, in batches if necessary, and pulse until coarsely ground: finer than chopped, but not much.

4. 4

   Put it in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Taste, then add more seasoning if necessary.

6. 6

   (If desired, cook a teaspoon of meat in a pan before tasting.)

7. 7

   Handling meat as little as possible to avoid compressing it, shape it lightly into 4 or more burgers.

8. 8

   Fire is hot enough when you can barely stand to hold your hand 3 or 4 inches over rack for a few seconds.

9. 9

   Grill burgers about 5 minutes a side, or until medium.

10. 10

    (Timing on stove top is the same.)

11. 11

    Serve on buns, toast or hard rolls, garnished as you like.
