Method

Mix the pork with the apple, onion, mustard, herbs and salt. Shape into two patties the width of the muffin and chill for ten minutes.
Fry them in a sprayed pan over a medium-high heat for five minutes a side, until well browned and no longer pink in the middle. Pork patties need cooking through, so cut one to check.
Split and toast the muffin. Spread the mayonnaise on the base and stack the lettuce, tomato, patties and sliced gherkins.

Worth knowing

Two thin patties rather than one thick one. Pork mince has to be cooked through, and a thick patty is dry outside by the time the middle is done.
An English muffin is a smaller bun than a brioche one and about half the calories. The muffin is still the second biggest number on the plate after the pork.
