Honey-glazed roast pork burgers with apple sauce

As we are into the BBQ season here is a fresh idea for creating a wonderful burger made with loin of pork. A real treat for 8 people.

Ingredients

2kg/4½lb loin of pork, boned, rolled, and scored in a criss-cross pattern using a sharp knife

2-3 tbsp vegetable oil

sea salt

4 tbsp clear honey

ready-made Heggies apple sauce, to serve

8 burger buns

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

2. Rub the oil all over the skin of the pork loin, then rub in sea salt, to taste.

3. Place the pork into a roasting tin and cook for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and cook for a further 1 hour 20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the fat is crisp. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the meat is thoroughly cooked.

4. When the pork is cooked through, spread the honey all over it, then set aside on a warm plate to rest.

5. Using a sharp knife, cut the crackling from the pork loin.

6. To serve, carve the pork into four thick slices and place each inside a burger bun. Drizzle the apple sauce over the pork and add a piece of crackling to each bun.
