Notes

Tips/Tricks

  • use pork mince with a little extra fat for maximum flavour
  • always let your meat rest before serving so the juices have time to redistribute – this helps keep your meat juicy and tender
  • you can substitute poblanos for jalapenos but it’s gonna be spicier! Alternatively, use green capsicum and add a little green chilli to the sauce if you can’t handle too much spice!
  • if cooking in a grill pan in the kitchen it will take a little longer to cook the burger so cook it for 2.5-3 minutes per side
