My Living Cookbook software tells me that one patty is 1200
calories...and that's without a bun!

I find this very hard to believe.

Here's the recipe:

Grilled Pork Burgers Indochine


Dressing:
3/4 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 Tbs fresh lime juice

Patties:
1/4 cup Vietnamese fish sauce (nuoc nam)
4 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp hot chile sauce
2 lbs ground pork
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp ground star anise (2 star anise ground in a mortar and
pestle)
6 French rolls, split and toasted
6 interior butter lettuce leaves



1 To make dressing, combine mayonnaise, basil, cilantro, green onions
and lime juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

2 To make patties, combine fish sauce, sugar and chile sauce. Add
pork, peanut butter, ginger, garlic and star anise; blend with a fork.
Form into 6 patties.

3 Brush grill rack with oil. Place burgers on rack and grill with top
closed 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.

4 Spread roll bottoms with thin layer of dressing, followed by a
lettuce leaf. Add patties and top each with a generous dollop of
dressing. Add roll tops

God, how discusting. Seems like a lot of time to invest to make
something that sounds so bad and is so high caloric. I would dig a
hole and bury it. dkw

Actually it's delicious. I take it you don't do much cooking.
