Banh Mi Burger (Paleo, AIP)

Author: Michele
Servings: 8 Burgers
An amazingly flavorful ground pork burger with a pickled topping is a match made in burger heaven. This Banh Mi burger recipe is Paleo and AIP friendly and a meal your whole family will be clamoring for! You can also modify it to be Whole30 as well
To make coconut-free: Omit the coconut aminos or you could also make your own coconut-free coconut aminos using this recipe by Mel Joulwan. I recommend making a batch of this and freezing it in an ice cube tray, giving you approx 2 tbs of "coconut aminos/soy sauce" per ice cube to use whenever you need it!
