I picked up some ground pork from Rocky Canyon at the farmer's market this weekend and thought I'd make some pork patties for dinner. Of course since I like everything to be really flavorful, I pondered my options with the ingredients I had lurking in my kitchen.
Thai green curry sounded good, so I thought I could mix in some curry paste (Mae Ploy) in with the meat to make savory patties.
Since I like things hot, I mixed in quite a bit. That was a mistake. The pork patties turned out really tasty but too salty. Next time I'd use a bit less paste and add some chopped serranos and garlic to the meat as well.
Alongside I made a simple salad of chopped romaine and cilantro. The dressing was lime juice, a bit of curry paste, and jalapeno-lemon olive oil. That was yummy! I had some leftover roasted poblano so I chopped that up and threw it on the plate too.
Have a fantabulous day!
The dressing sounds delicious. I would have probably added some lemon zest and a little garlic.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I never think to prepare pork patties, probably because I rarely by ground pork.
ReplyDeleteI grilled up some lamb patties the other day with chopped mint and a sliver of feta instead. They were out of this world.
