Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large frying pan, 2 large bowls, a small bowl, a sieve, a peeler & a grater

Time for fries

  • Cut the potatoes and sweet potato into fries (peel optional)
  • Place onto the lined baking tray and toss with 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper
  • Roast for 25-30 mins, turning halfway through, until golden

Make the burgers

  • Meanwhile, coarsely grate the apple and press out the excess liquid in a sieve. Finely chop or grate the garlic
  • Add half the apple to a large bowl, along with the pork, paprika & oregano blend, garlic and one-quarter of the harissa. Season with salt and pepper and mix well
  • Form into 4 patties, about 2cm thick

Sizzle the burgers

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burgers and cook for 8 mins, then flip and cook for another 6 mins, until cooked through

Make the harissa yoghurt drizzle & slaw

  • In the small bowl, mix together the yoghurt with the juice from half the lime, the remaining harissa and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Trim and finely slice the cabbage and spring onions
  • Place both into the other large bowl with the remaining apple, the juice from the remaining lime, 1 tbsp olive oil and a generous pinch of salt. Mix to combine

Plate up

  • Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
  • Trim the lettuce and carefully separate the leaves
  • Serve the lettuce onto plates, topped with the burgers and the harissa yoghurt drizzle. Serve the fries and slaw alongside
