Cherry apple pork and slaw burger.

Method

This is a guide, not a rulebook. Adjust it to what you've got and what you like.

1. 01

   Rub the pork.

   Coat the pork all over in the cherry apple rub and let it sit while you get the pan going.

2. 02

   Render the fat.

   Put the pork in a pan fat side down over low heat and let the fat slowly render out. Take your time here; that fat is where the flavour is.

3. 03

   Sear it.

   Turn the heat up to medium-high and sear both sides until golden.

4. 04

   Finish in the oven.

   Move the pork to the oven and cook until it hits temp. My meat temperature guide has the temp to check for.

5. 05

   Make the slaw.

   Toss the cabbage, apple and carrot with the apple cider vinegar, some Kewpie and a sprinkle of The Adventurer finish salt. Taste it and add more of whatever it needs.

6. 06

   Dress the buns.

   Split the pretzel buns and spread them with more Kewpie.

7. 07

   Build it.

   Slice the pork, stack plenty on, then the slaw, then The Trailblazer over the top.
