Instructions

Make burger mixture: Use your (clean) hands to mix the ground pork, green onion, allspice, salt, pepper and ground ginger together in a large bowl until just combined. Don't knead the mixture too much or the burgers will be tough.

Ingredients you will need

Ginger Powder

Green Onions

Ground Pork

Allspice

Pepper

Salt

Equipment you will use

Bowl

Form patties: Gently form 4 equal patties, with a slight indentation in the middle (the burgers will contract as they cook, the indentation helps keep the burgers from bulging in the middle too much).

If you want, you can separate the patties with wax paper and store them for a few hours in the fridge before grilling.

Grill the patties: Prepare your grill for medium high, direct heat. Scrape down the grill grates and coat with vegetable oil.

Recommended wine: Malbec, Merlot, Zinfandel

Malbec, Merlot, and Zinfandel are my top picks for Burger. Merlot will be perfectly adequate for a classic burger with standard toppings. Bolder toppings call for bolder wines, such as a malbec or peppery zinfandel. One wine you could try is Zuccardi Aluvional Altamira Malbec. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 90 dollars.
