Instructions

Making pulled pork

Of course, this takes the longest so it's best to do it a day in advance. Rub the attorney with salt, pepper and smoked paprika and place in the slow cooker. Turn it on and pour in the broth. Let cook gently for about 6-8 hours, turning halfway through. When you can pull the meat apart with two forks it is done!

Making the tzatziki

First make the tzatziki by grating the cucumber (then squeeze out the liquid for a moment) and mixing it with the Greek yogurt. Add pressed clove of garlic plus salt and pepper to taste.

Building the burger

Fry the bacon and eggs. Toast the hamburger buns in a pan or toaster. Fry the burgers until done.
Fry the pulled pork crispy in a frying pan with some oil. Add the herbs and spices (oregano, thyme, parsley, garlic, smoked paprika, cinnamon, pepper and salt) and fry until crispy.
Start the burger with some of the tzatziki. Top with the lettuce. Then the burger. On top of that the onion rings, the bacon, the egg, the pulled pork and finish with some more tzatziki....
