Preparation
Roast the zucchini
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Halve the zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½ inch pieces on an angle. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 7 to 9 min., until browned and tender.
Prepare & cook the patties
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the pork, remaining spices and S&P. Form into 4 patties. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the patties* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, roughly chop the lettuce and olives. Small-dice the roasted pepper. In a small bowl, combine the tzatziki, roasted pepper and S&P.
Make the salad
In a second large bowl, combine the vinegar and 3 tbsp oil. Add the lettuce, zucchini, olives and S&P; toss well.
Toast the buns
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the buns, cut-sides down, and toast, 1 to 2 min., until golden brown.
Plate your dish
Divide the bun bottoms between your plates. Top each bun bottom with the roasted pepper tzatziki, a patty, a spoonful of the salad and a bun top. Serve the remaining salad on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
