Preparation
Prepare in Advance:
- Dried Onions: Chop 1 fresh onion finely and bake in an oven preheated to 140°C for 30-40 minutes.
Seasoned Potatoes:
- Wash and cut the potatoes into quarters. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with rapeseed oil. Sprinkle with dried thyme, rosemary, paprika powder, and cumin seeds. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Place the potatoes in an oven preheated to 160°C (convection) for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Baked Bacon:
- Arrange bacon slices on a second baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the oven with the potatoes and bake until the bacon is crispy.
Burger Patties:
- Add chopped onion, sliced pickles, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and barbecue sauce to the ground pork. Mix thoroughly.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a cutting board and coat with rapeseed oil. Form 8 balls from the meat mixture, place on the paper, and flatten into patties that match the size of the buns. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat a grill pan and coat with rapeseed oil. Fry the patties for about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the partially cooked patties to an ovenproof dish and bake at 160°C (convection) for 5 minutes.
Sauce:
- Mix the cream, ketchup, lemon juice, dried onion, and chopped green onions in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Buns:
- Preheat a grill pan. Cut the buns in half and spread peanut butter on the cut sides. Toast the buns on the pan, cut side down, until golden brown.
- Place a slice of cheese on the bottom halves of the buns and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 160°C (convection) for 5 minutes.
Onions:
- Fry onion rings on the grill pan with a bit of rapeseed oil for about 2 minutes until lightly browned.
Assembly:
- On the toasted bun with cheese, place shredded lettuce, 2 slices of tomato, and fried onion rings.
- Add the cooked patty and spread with sauce. Top with a piece of crispy bacon. Cover with the top half of the bun.
- Serve on a plate with a side of seasoned potatoes.
