My home state of Iowa is a leader in pork production. This recipe is a truly delicious and nutritious way to use ground pork. Ingredients:
1 cup soft bread crumbs |
1/3 cup finely chopped green onions |
1/3 cup finely chopped green pepper |
1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and chopped |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger |
2 pounds ground pork |
sauce: |
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained |
2/3 cup ketchup |
1/4 cup white vinegar |
1/4 cup orange marmalade |
2 tablespoons prepared mustard |
8 hamburger buns, split and toasted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Crumble pork over mixture and mix well. Shape into eight patties. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the pineapple, ketchup, vinegar, marmalade and mustard. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until marmalade is melted. Remove from the heat; set aside.
3. Grill patties, covered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until a thermometer reads 160°. Spoon 1 tablespoon of sauce onto each burger during the last 2 minutes of grilling. Serve on buns with remaining sauce. Yield: 8 servings.
