Add the grated Jazz apple to a large bowl, alongside the pork, coriander, chilli and beaten
egg. Season with salt and mix well to combine.Step 2
Divide the mixture evenly into 6 and roll into large meatballs.
Step 3
Add a splash of oil to a large pan and heat until shimmering. Add one meatball at a time and smash down to form a thin burger patty. Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
