650 grams minced pork
120 grams dry, pre-cooked pulled pork, see my recipe link below
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp dry barbecue seasoning from recipe below
60 ml barbecue sauce, your own favourite or from my recipe below
1 tsp worcestershire sauce, gluten-free recipe attached below
1 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp oregano
1/2 tbsp ground black pepper
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp low-sodium salt
3/4 tsp cayenne pepper
160 ml tomato ketchup
80 ml apple cider vinegar
120 grams brown sugar

1
Make sure you drain your pulled pork so it's not soaking in juices.
2
I leave it overnight in a lidded dish in the fridge to dry it out a little, or your patties won't bind well
3
Mix the dry barbeque seasoning together.
4
You'll have some leftover for another day, store in an old seasoning jar or small lidded container
5
In another bowl, stir together the barbeque sauce ingredients.
6
You'll have some leftover to top the finished burgers with
7
Combine the minced pork, pulled pork, 1 & 1/2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix and the chopped onion in a large bowl
8
Add the barbeque sauce amount in the ingredient list and the worcestershire sauce and knead in to bind the mixture
9
Form a small meatball sized patty with some of the mixture.
10
This is your taste tester!
11
Grill it until cooked through and use it to adjust the seasonings.
12
You may want to add another teaspoon of the seasoning blend, or add extra cayenne
13
Split the rest of the mixture into 8 equal balls.
14
Form them into burger patties.
15
I use my trusty burger press so they're all even
16
At this point you can separate them with parchment discs and freeze them in ziplock bags if you like.
17
Defrost before grilling and preheat the grill / broiler to medium
18
Grill / broil the patties under a medium heat for 20 minutes, turning regularly until cooked through
19
Drain on kitchen paper then build your burger.
20
I like to use a plain slightly toasted bun then just top them with extra barbeque sauce and coleslaw, served on the side my sweetcorn relish, potato wedges, baked beans and a garden salad
21
Great if you enjoy both pulled pork and burgers and can't decide which to have!
