Instructions

Prepare the pork patties

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, barbecue seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Form into 4 equal patties.

Pro tip: Avoid over-mixing to maintain a tender texture.

Preheat the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).

Pro tip: Clean and oil the grill grates before cooking to prevent sticking.

Grill the pork patties

Place the pork patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer inserted into the side of the patty to check doneness.

Prepare the coleslaw

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Pro tip: Chill the coleslaw for at least 15 minutes to let the flavours meld.

Toast the buns

Place the split burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, cut side down, until lightly toasted.

Pro tip: Keep an eye on the buns to prevent burning.

Assemble the burgers

Place a grilled pork patty on each toasted bun bottom, top with a generous scoop of coleslaw, and finish with the bun top.

Pro tip: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavour.
