Ham Burger

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground pork

  • 3/4 pound deli-sliced honey-baked ham, coarsely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon grill seasoning (a palmful)

  • 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

  • Four 1/2-inch-thick slices fresh pineapple

  • 4 Kaiser rolls, split and toasted

  • 1 cup pineapple chutney or mango chutney

  • 8 red leaf lettuce leaves

  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the pork, ham, maple syrup, grill seasoning, hot sauce and mustard. Form into four patties.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon EVOO, one turn of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the pineapple slices and cook, turning once, until golden, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon EVOO, one turn of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until cooked through, 8-10 minutes total.

Place one patty on each roll bottom and top with some chutney, lettuce, a pineapple slice, onion and a roll top.
