Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute ground turkey or ground beef for ground pork, and cremini mushrooms for button mushrooms.

    M especially liked these. Made a half batch with ground turkey and provolone.

    Made these with turkey, my husband and I both thought they had way too much cumin. Otherwise, not bad, but not over the top amazing either. I had an 8 oz pack of mushrooms and used them all, I also cooked them for much longer than 2 min. A mushroom cooked for 2 min will not reach its flavor potential.

    Made a half recipe to make four smaller burgers, but other than that as written. The burger is very cumin-forward, which I liked but my husband was a little less fond of. Very tasty and a one-pan meal. Liked the onions. Next time will serve with a bun. Used the leftover burger patty, spinach, and mushrooms as the filling for a quesadilla the next day and that was good too.

    These are pork burgers, distinctively seasoned with cumin, topped with Swiss cheese, charred red onion and spinach that's sautéed in olive oil and butter with garlic, mushrooms and mixed with a scoop of LGD before it goes on the burger. The recipe makes 8 oz burgers and serves them on a plate. I went with 4 oz and put mine on a bun. I forgot to buy mushrooms so I melted a slice of the double-mushroom butter from Six Seasons into the pan with the garlic before wilting the greens. I subbed arugula for spinach as it needed to be used. I really enjoyed this. Loved the charred onion. The combination of LDG and butter is just as green vegetable-friendly here as in the asparagus recipe. The cumin in the burger was interesting and made me think these would be good made with lamb. Vivian suggests turkey or beef as alternative meats.

    I used the ground beef and cremini mushroom options. Made half recipe for daughter and I. We enjoyed them.
