Tabbouleh Burger with Smoked Pork Shoulder and Blackberry Cheese Sauce


Sharing is caring!

If there’s anything I absolutely love, it’s a food challenge.

I contribute to a group called Burger Month, another amazing idea of Kita Roberts. Each month she sends an email with a few ingredients that must be used in the burger creation. June’s ingredients were spinach, radishes, lemon and whole cream. At first, I was so not excited – I absolutely hate radishes.

However, I don’t back down from a challenge. As a matter of fact, I make it my bitch.

This burger was seriously an unexpected delicious beauty.

I incorporated the radishes, diced teeny tiny, into a fresh tabbouleh that was surprisingly so damn good. The lemon was also part of the tabbouleh.

I’m sure you’re wondering what I did with the spinach; it’s IN the burger, which worked like a fat little charm.

I also chopped dry, cured pork shoulder and incorporated that into the burger, as well. This wasn’t your typical pork shoulder; it’s paper thin like prosciutto. I have never seen this before in my life; but Publix now carries it and I had to try it.

Here’s the brand, Volpi, check it out.

I have made burgers in the past with chopped pepperoni, which turned out so well, so I figured this may take this burger to the extra level.

The last of the ingredients that I needed to incorporate was the whole cream. That’s the luscious cheese sauce.

Tis is a sharp cheddar blackberry sauce. It works – don’t ask me how. All I know is that it’s delicious.

All the elements are here – spinach, radishes, lemon, and whole cream.
