Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork

  • ¾ teaspoon fennel seeds

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • 2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar

  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella

  • 4 toasted buns

Directions

  1. Heat a grill to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. In a bowl, mix pork with fennel seeds. Form into 4 patties. On a large piece of foil, combine oil, peppers, and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Fold foil around vegetables and crimp ends. Grill packet until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Season patties with salt and pepper.

Cook's Notes

Indoor method: In an oiled grill pan or cast-iron skillet, cook vegetables over medium-high. Wipe skillet clean; cook burgers in same pan.
