Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 3/4 teaspoon ground sage
- 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary crushed between your fingers
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 jumbo sweet onion
- 2 teaspoons gluten free worcestershire sauce
- 12 oz gluten free beer
- 4 gluten free buns
Instructions
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions then saute until evenly caramelized, 10 minutes. Add beer, worcestershire sauce, and a little salt then bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium then simmer until onions are tender and beer has nearly been absorbed, 10-15 minutes. Taste then add salt if necessary and set aside.
- While the onions are simmering, preheat grill on high heat for at least 10 minutes (I like to let my grill get to 400-450 degrees.) Combine pork and spices - sage through nutmeg - then form mixture into 4 patties - patties will be soft, but that's ok. Turn grill down to medium heat then spray tops of patties with nonstick spray. Place patties sprayed-side down on the grill then cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Briefly grill buns to soften and toast then place brat burgers onto buns and top with beer-braised caramelized onions before serving.
Notes
- The fat content in ground pork can vary wildly, so don't be surprised if your burgers shrink up a bit.
