Ingredients

  • 1kg minced pork
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 cooking apple, peeled and grated
  • 1 egg
  • A handful of sage

For the caramelised onions

  • 3 onions sliced
  • 2 tbsp light muscovado sugar
  • Butter

Method

To caramelise the onions, cook them with the sugar and a large knob of butter over a very gentle heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, mix all the burger ingredients together in a bowl and season well. Shape into four burgers, then fry over a medium heat for 6-7 minutes each side until cooked in the middle.

Serve on toasted buns with the caramelised onions, topped with whatever other garnish you fancy, alongside a green salad and chunky chips.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
