Pork & Apple Burgers with Oven Roasted Fries

Preheat oven to 200°C. Peel onion and thinly slice into rings. Halve apple, remove and discard core, then thinly slice. Cut the potato into 1 cm thin fries.

Drizzle potatoes with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place potatoes on a lined baking tray and roast in oven for 25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Pat pork dry with paper towel. In a medium bowl, combine pork, burger spice, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, mix well, then form into 2 equal patties (about the size of the buns). Create a shallow dimple in the centre of each. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add patties and sear until browned on bottom, 6-7 minutes.

Tip! When you swap the chef selected protein; adjust the cooking times and method to ensure your protein is properly cooked and therefore safe to eat.

Flip patties, top with cheese (see tip), then continue cooking until cooked through, around 5 more minutes. Remove patties from pan, cover loosely with foil, and set aside to rest.

Tip! Putting a lid on once the patties are topped with cheese will speed up the cooking time a little.

Add a little more oil (or water) to the pan. Add sliced onions over medium-high heat and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add apple and cook until soft, about 2 minutes more. Add balsamic vinegar and cook for 1 minute. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

With 2 minutes remaining before the potatoes are cooked, add buns cut-side up in the oven. Layer lettuce on each burger bun bottom, top with burger patty and onion/apple mix. Spread bun top with whole grain mayo, and top. Serve wedges alongside burgers. Enjoy!
