Ingredients:

For the Pork Patty:

  • 500g ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or sage (optional)

For the Toppings:

  • 150g Camembert cheese, sliced
  • Fresh lettuce leaves (e.g., Romaine or Butter lettuce)
  • 1 ripe tomato, sliced
  • A few thin slices of red onion

For the Red Onion Marmalade:

  • 2 large red onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Additional:

  • 4 burger buns, preferably brioche, toasted
  • Optional: Mayonnaise or Dijon mustard for spreading

Preparation:

Preparing the Pork Patties:

  1. In a bowl, combine the ground pork, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried herbs (if using).
  2. Mix gently until just combined, careful not to overwork the meat.
  3. Shape into 4 patties, creating a small indent in the center of each to ensure even cooking.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

Preparing the Red Onion Marmalade:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced onions, salt, and pepper, cooking until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  3. Add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, stirring well.
  4. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the mixture is thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking the Pork Patties:

  1. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the pork patties for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
  3. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, place the Camembert slices on the patties, covering with a lid to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger:

  1. If desired, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Dijon mustard on the toasted buns.
  2. Place lettuce leaves on the bottom halves of the buns.
  3. Add the cooked pork patty with melted Camembert.
  4. Top with slices of tomato and red onion.
  5. Generously spoon the red onion marmalade over the toppings.
  6. Finish with the top half of the bun.
