Pork and Portobello Burgers
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, fennel seed or parsley
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps, stems removed
- Olive oil
- 4 burger buns
- Any burger fixings you like
- Prepare a grill; the heat should be medium-high and the rack about 4 inches from the heat.
- Combine the ground pork, garlic, rosemary and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Use a spoon to lightly scrape away the gills of the mushrooms and hollow them slightly.
- Drizzle the mushrooms (inside and out) with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Press 1/4 of the mixture into each of the hollow sides of the mushrooms; you want the meat to spread all the way across the width of the mushrooms.
- They should look like burgers.
- Grill the burgers, meat side down, until the pork is well browned, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Flip and cook until the top side of the mushrooms are browned and the mushrooms are tender, another 6 to 8 minutes.
- If you like, use an instant-read thermometer to check the interior temperature of the pork, which should be a minimum of 145 degrees.
- Serve the burgers on buns (toasted, if you like) with any fixings you like.
