Frog Burgers

FROG BURGERS
This recipe came about after a pre workout discussion with Natalie at the gym.  We were discussing various herbs and specifically rosemary.  After the workout I headed to the store (a bad place to be when you are super hungry) and I started to create this recipe in my head.  Initially I was going to use ground chicken, but due to the quirks of living on an island, there wasn't any ... so, next best alternative, pork, and it turned out great!  Thanks Natalie for the inspiration!
Ingredients
1 lb ground pork (or turkey or beef)
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 red onion
2 cloves garlic
Rosemary - leaves of 3 stems
Thyme - leaves of 4 stems
Sage - leaves of 2 stems
Cider Vinegar - 1 tbsp and 1/2 cup
Olive oil 1 tbsp
1 tsp sugar
6 buns
Directions
Thinly slice 1/2 red onion, place in a bowl with 1/2 cup cider vinegar, sugar and 1 tsp rough chopped rosemary.  Refrigerate till burgers are done. In a food processor combine sage, thyme and remaining rosemary, garlic, remaining 1/2 onion, 1 tbsp cider vinegar and 1 tbsp olive oil.  Puree and add to ground pork and panko.  Mix gently.  Refrigerate 1/2 to 1 hour.Form 6 burgers and grill.  Serve on buns with lettuce, tomatoes, pickled onions and garlic rosemary mayo.

Rice 2 c Sushi Rice 1.5 T Seasoned Rice Vinegar Cook the rice according to the package. While still hot, add the rice vinegar and gently fold to incorporate into the rice. Lay some parchment paper on a jelly roll pan (cookie sheet) and scoop the rice onto the pan. Using a wet spoon, spread out and flatten the rice into an even layer. Cover with two layers of damp paper towel and let cool. I usually make the rice in the morning and let it chill in the fridge till supper.
