| 2 | tbsp balsamic vinegar |
| 2 | tbsp water |
| Pork Burgers | |
| 1 | pound lean ground pork |

Directions for the recipe for pork burgers
To make the chutney, in a small saucepan combine mango, raisins, onion, vinegar, and water. Set pan over medium heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the mango just starts to break down. Remove the mixture from the heat and set aside.
Preheat grill or broiler.
To make the burgers, in a large bowl combine pork, parsley, curry, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine. Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties. Grill or broil the burgers (on a baking sheet when broiling) for 5 minutes per side, until browned on the outside and cooked through. Arrange the burgers on buns and spoon the mango chutney over top.
Nutrition facts: Mangoes are high in vitamin C and beta-carotene. Whole-wheat or mixed-grain buns add a hefty dose of fiber and B vitamins. Lean pork is not only rich in thiamine, it's also an excellent source of low-fat protein. For the leanest pork, buy 1 pound pork tenderloin and ask the butcher to grind it for you.
