Farm-Fresh Tips for Cooking Ground Pork
Ground pork is mild, versatile, and full of possibilities—perfect for everything from savory burgers and meatballs to stir-fries and casseroles. Here’s how we prepare it at Fields of Athenry.
Season Boldly – Ground pork takes well to a wide range of flavors—garlic, sage, fennel, paprika, soy, or ginger all work beautifully.
Keep It Juicy – When making patties or meatballs, mix gently and avoid overhandling to maintain tenderness.
Cook Evenly – Brown in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up into crumbles. For patties, sear 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
Cook to 160°F – Ground pork should always be cooked through for safety, while staying moist and flavorful.
Pair with Freshness – Balance its richness with crisp vegetables, herbs, or a splash of citrus.
Think Beyond Burgers – Use ground pork in stir-fries, dumplings, tacos, breakfast sausage, or hearty pasta sauces.
From Farm to Feast—happy cooking!
