Ingredients
- Olive Oil: drizzle of olive oil
- Tomato: 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- Chilli Flakes: 1 tsp chilli flakes
- Oregano: 1 tsp dried oregano
- Balsamic Vinegar: drizzle of balsamic vinegar
- Ciabatta: 4 ciabatta bread rolls, split and toasted
- Baby Spinach: handful baby spinach
- Black Olive: 6 black olives, chopped
- Fennel Seed: 1 tsp fennel seed
- Mascarpone: 4 tbsp mascarpone

Directions
- Mix the pork mince with the fennel seeds, chilli flakes, oregano and some seasoning. Mix well with your hands until well combined, then shape into 4 burgers. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan - or fire up the BBQ and brush the burgers with a little oil - and cook the burgers for 5-7 mins on each side until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, mix the tomatoes, olives, balsamic vinegar and a drizzle more oil with some seasoning to make a salsa. Top the base of each roll with 1 tbsp mascarpone, a few spinach leaves, a burger and a spoonful of the salsa, then sandwich everything with the lid.
