He shoots, you score! This winning recipe gets the nod from Nick Suzuki, Montreal Canadiens captain. These juicy pork burgers are above par—thanks to a touch of grated Grana Padano cheese worked into the well-seasoned patties. You’ll set off that irresistibly salty, savoury edge with two bold toppings: roasted peppers for zing and caper mayo for bling. The rest is as simple as serving them on lightly grilled garlic focaccia buns with a side salad of crisp radishes and soft baby greens.

Preparation
Mise en place
Thinly slice the radishes. Thinly slice the roasted peppers lengthwise.
Prepare the patties
In a large bowl, combine the pork, ½ the cheese, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Form into 2 patties (double for 4 portions).
Cook the patties & toast the buns
In a grill pan (or large pan), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the patties* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the buns, cut-sides down, and toast, 1 to 2 min., until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate.
Make the caper mayo
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the capers, mayo, ½ the vinegar and a pinch of the remaining spices.
Make the salad
In a medium bowl, combine the remaining vinegar, 3 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices (start with ½) and S&P. Add the baby greens and radishes; toss well.
Finish & serve
Spread the cut-sides of the buns with the caper mayo. Divide the salad and bun bottoms between your plates. Top each bun bottom with a patty, the roasted peppers, remaining cheese and a bun top. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
