This Grilled Pork Loin Burgers with Apricot-Chipotle Mayonnaise recipe is part of my collaboration as brand ambassador of the National Pork Boardās āPork Es Saborā grilling season. Thank you for reading and supporting the brands that make Savoir Faire possible.
This year I decided to take full advantage of the grilling season, and what better way than by grilling with pork!
Many reasons to cook with pork
I enjoy using pork because it is an extremely flavorful and accessible protein, allowing us to cook it in a variety of ways creating different savoring tastes.
Pork is a protein that cooks quickly, is low in calories and high in nutrients, which means itās an ideal option when grilling, and you know: there is nothing like pork on the grill because it brings out the best of its flavor.
Look at these grilled pork loin burgers. I asked the butcher to grind me some pork loin, without fat, so that they are as lean as possible, yet still flavorful. Pork loin is one of the cuts classified as lean by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Since pork is so tasty, I just seasoned it with salt, garlic, and parsley and I assure you that it doesnāt need anything else.
Even better: both my kids said these are the best burger ever (and I agree). This is kind of a miracle since they never agree when is about food.
How to make grilled pork loin burgers
Now I have a confession. My burgers are lean, but I succumbed to the temptation of an apricot-chipotle mayonnaise with cilantro and it was amazing!
