Instructions

n a large bowl, combine the ground pork loin, puréed garlic, salt, and parsley. Mix gently until just combined — do not overwork.

Preheat the grill over direct heat.
In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apricot jam, chipotle, and cilantro. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Remove from the grill. Place the patties on aluminum foil, wrap loosely, and let rest for 5 minutes.
Grill the hamburger buns for 30 seconds.
Assemble the burgers with lettuce and apricot-chipotle mayo. Serve immediately.
