Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
- Pull out a large frying pan, a large bowl, a small bowl, a sieve & a grater
Time for wedges
- Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges
- Place the wedges onto a lined baking tray and toss with the chilli paste (for those who'd like the heat), 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden
Make the patties
- Meanwhile, coarsely grate the apple and squeeze out the excess liquid in a sieve
- Add the apple to the large bowl, along with the pork and half the maple mustard dressing. Season generously with salt and pepper and mix well
- Form into 4 patties, about 2cm thick
Cook the burgers & finish the prep
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 mins per side. Transfer to the other lined baking tray and bake for 10 mins, until cooked through
- Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes. Slice the cucumber into 1cm thick half-moons
- In the small bowl, mix the yoghurt with the mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper
Make the salad & plate up
- When everything's ready, in the large bowl, toss together the salad leaves, tomatoes, cucumber and remaining maple mustard dressing
- 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
- Serve the patties onto plates, with the wedges and salad alongside. Dollop over the mustard yoghurt
