Curried Pork Delicious! (aka burgers)

I have a sneaking suspicion my dad has been pushing this recipe on me for ages but I've had an irrational fear of jalapenos. Thanks to the success of the tex-mex lasagna a few weeks back (recipe to come), I've mastered chopping them up without burning my skin or eyes. This is a super quick but fancy weeknight dish to jazz up burgers.

Serves 4

1 lb lean ground pork
1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander (aka cilantro)
1/3 cup crumbled low fat feta cheese
2 Tbsp curry paste (I use VH's Yellow Curry for a gluten-free, nut-free option which is tricky to find)
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tsp minced gingerroot
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (I chickened out and used 1/2; working up to a whole one)
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt (I just sprinkled a dash in)
1/4 tsp pepper

In large bowl, mix together pork, coriander, feta, curry paste, garlic, ginger, jalapeno pepper, cumin, salt and pepper. Divide into quarters; shape into burgers. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Place on a greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, about ten minutes. Check with a thermometer and it should be 160 F.

Serve with gluten-free buns or more delicious gluten-filled ones (no hard feelings here!) I use Kinnikinnick hamburger buns and I find that toasted, they are yummy.

Review: They seemed super crumbly when I flipped them. Going to add an egg and some gluten-free bread crumbs next time! But super juicy and amazing!
