PORK APPLE MINI BURGERS

1 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. lean ground pork
1 cup grated apples
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup spicy plum sauce
1/2 tsp. each salt, pepper and ground ginger
FOR SERVING:
mini brioche buns

In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.

In a bowl, stir together pork, grated apple, breadcrumbs, plum sauce, salt, pepper, ginger and cooked onion-garlic mixture until well combined. Using 1/4 cup at a time, form into patties 1/2 inch thick.

In a non-stick skillet, brown patties on both sides until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

If desired, serve on mini brioche buns topped with lettuce.
