I made this with turkey breast mince instead. This recipe was great. So many fabulous tastes going round my mouth! Definitely will make again. I had no probs with burgers crumbling either. I'm really a novice when it comes to cooking but these were easy to make and it's encouraging me to cook more in the kitchen.
5 stars for taste
5 stars for easiness to make
Prepared the burgers in the morning and left them in little muffin moulds in the fridge to hold their shape...also added some olive oil to the burger mixture so it would bind better. Was still a little crumbly but not too bad - may try the egg suggestion next time. Also found the sweet potatoes a bit soft, even after heating the oil in the baking tray before adding the wedges...but they still tasted nice! Really nice flavours altogether and will definitely do again!
Beautiful! didnt have the tools for the salsa so used apple chutney which went beautifully with the pork burgers, all tasted wonderful I used mild curry paste instead of red thai that only gave a hint of the curry taste but that was fine for me, the sweet potatoe wedges were devine as well! as for the binding issues some people had I added an egg to the mixture and refridgerated for about 5 minutes and they held together beautifully. All in all, a must have and for me a repeat performance!
I love Salsa recipes.
Check out my home made salsa recipe:

It's 'lacto fermented' which naturally improves the digestibility and vitamin content of the salsa!
