These little pork burgers are delicious, perfect for summer days in the garden. I made these up because I got bored of beef burgers, and now want to share the recipe with others. I hope you will make these and enjoy

- Put the pork mince, curry paste, breadcrumbs, onion, lime juice, coriander, chilli and sugar into a large bowl and using your hands mix until thoroughly blended. Season with salt and pepper, mix well, then cover and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Divide mixture into 12 portions or 6 if you want them bigger, and shape each one into a flat round burger shape.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and cook the burgers over a medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side if they are small (or 6 to 8 minutes per side if you make them bigger) until no longer pink in the centre. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
- Mix the yoghurt with the coriander and mint, and a dash of lime juice and a pinch of salt.
- Serve yoghurt sauce in a dish alongside the burgers, with a fresh green salad.
Tips
I used a Thai red curry paste. Seed the chilli if you want a milder heat.
Before shaping the burgers rub a little oil into your hands to help stop the mixture sticking to them.
They are delicious served with warmed pitta breads and green salad.
