Lemongrass Hamburgers

   Start a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill; the fire should not be too hot, and the rack should be 4 inches or more from the heat source.

2. 2

   (You can also cook the patties in a nonstick skillet or a broiler.)

3. 3

   If the meat is preground, mince the shallots, garlic, and lemongrass and combine them and the chile with the pork, salt, pepper, nam pla, and sugar.

4. 4

   If the meat is in chunks, combine it in a food processor with those ingredients and process until everything is minced together; do not overprocessits best if the meat is minced, not pureed.

5. 5

   Shape the meat mixture into 8 small patties (or 4 larger ones if youre serving them on buns) and grill until nicely browned on both sides and cooked as you like the meat (pork should be cooked to at least 150F), about 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve with the lime wedges or mustard.
