Prepping and Freezing Seasoned Ground Pork (for Burgers/Sauce)

Process the portions of pork (with a little fat) in a food processor until it reaches the consistency of ground meat. If desired, use 1/3 of this ground pork and mix it with 2/3 ground beef, ideal for Bolognese or burgers.

Add the seasonings: onion, garlic, tomato (or cilantro and ginger, if preferred), parsley (or cilantro/ginger), crushed red pepper flakes, and mustard powder. Mix well.

Transfer the seasoned mixture to a zip-top bag. Seal, removing as much air as possible.

Use the back of a knife to divide and score the meat inside the bag, making it easier to separate portions later.

Place the portioned bags in the freezer. They can last up to 3 months.

When preparing (whether as a burger, steak, or sauce), season the portion with salt immediately before cooking, as salt added before freezing can dehydrate the meat.

Air fry the meat for 15 minutes at 350ºF (180ºC). Alternatively, use a skillet or the oven, according to your preference.
