Juicy Apple Pork Burgers

Meanwhile, halve and core apple. Grate one half onto a paper towel, then squeeze out any excess moisture (do this over the sink). Put grated apple, pork, and remaining 1 tsp rosemary in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper (we used ½ tsp kosher salt). Combine mixture with your hands, then shape into two patties slightly wider than the buns.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add burgers to pan and cook until no longer pink in center, 4-5 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, split buns in half and place on another baking sheet. Toast in oven until golden brown, 3-5 minutes.

Halve, core, and thinly slice remaining apple half. In another large bowl, toss lettuce, apple slices, a drizzle of olive oil, and 2 tsp balsamic vinegar (we sent more). Season with salt and pepper.
