Ingredients
- 500g pork mince
- 1 tsp fennel seed
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- drizzle of olive oil
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 6 black olives, chopped
- drizzle of balsamic vinegar
- 4 ciabatta bread rolls, split and toasted
- 4 tbsp mascarpone
- handful baby spinach
Method
- STEP 1
Mix the pork mince with the fennel seeds, chilli flakes, oregano and some seasoning. Mix well with your hands until well combined, then shape into 4 burgers. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan – or fire up the BBQ and brush the burgers with a little oil – and cook the burgers for 5-7 mins on each side until cooked through.
- STEP 2
Meanwhile, mix the tomatoes, olives, balsamic vinegar and a drizzle more oil with some seasoning to make a salsa. Top the base of each roll with 1 tbsp mascarpone, a few spinach leaves, a burger and a spoonful of the salsa, then sandwich everything with the lid.
