Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Cut the potatoes (skin on) into chips
Add the chips to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up
Put the tray in the oven for 25-30 min or until the chips are golden and starting to crisp
Meanwhile, chop the pear[s] into very small pieces, discarding the core
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a matching lid over a medium heat
Once hot, add a large knob of butter and the chopped pear and cook for 3-5 min or until starting to soften
Once starting to soften, add the sultanas, balsamic vinegar, star anise and 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] sugar
Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until the pear pieces have broken down – this is your pear chutney
Tip: if the chutney is looking too chunky, mash it roughly with a fork
Meanwhile, crumble the blue cheese
Add the panko breadcrumbs, pork mince and crumbled blue cheese to a large bowl with a generous pinch of pepper
Tip: if you don't love blue cheese, just add half!
Mix, then knead thoroughly until fully combined, then shape into 2 [4] burger patties and refrigerate
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium heat
Cut the brioche rolls in half
Once hot, add the brioche, cut-side down, and cook for 3 min or until toasted and charred, then set them aside until serving
Return the pan to a medium heat
Once hot, add the refrigerated burger patties to the pan and cook for 4 min on each side or until cooked through
Assemble the brioche buns with lambs lettuce, pork patties and pear chutney
Skewer the burgers to hold them together
Dress the remaining lambs lettuce with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and serve on the side with the chips
Enjoy!
