This easy cashew and pork burger recipe is all about adopting a healthy habit of eating more veggies and less meat. The nuts add protein and healthy fats to make sure you feel full, while they also cut down on the amount of pork needed, perfect if you're trying to wean yourself off of meat gradually. This cashew and pork burger recipe will take around 20 minutes to whip up and then 20 mins to cook, so works for an easy mid-week meal. Once your burger is ready simply butter your brioche buns with mayonnaise, top your pork patties with tomato slices, carrots and gherkins. If you want to go all out treat yourself to a side of chips or onion rings!
