Recipe: Chef Doreen Prei’s Pork Burger

Summer is in full swing and that mean’s it is full-on burger season. Every second Wednesday all summer long, Kathryn Joel and chef Doreen Prei of Get Cooking Edmonton will be hosting a burger night.

I checked out their inaugural event of the season, where chef Prei was serving up a choice of three burgers, including her legendary fried-egg topped Irvings Farm Fresh Alberta pork burger. Check out their schedule for upcoming dates and menus to try Chef Prei’s original – but in the meantime you can check out her recipe.

Directions:

In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients, mixing with your hands to combine.
