Start with 80% lean ground pork shoulder.

Cut an onion and sauté it until translucent.

Add sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes to the onions as they cook.

Add minced garlic to the mixture and let it cook until fragrant.

Pour in cherry vinegar and let the mixture reduce until dry.

Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool before adding to the ground pork.

Combine the cooled onion mixture with the ground pork, adding salt and black pepper to taste.

Form the mixture into burger patties.

Prepare a romesco sauce by blending toasted almonds, roasted peppers, cherry vinegar, paprika, reserved onion and garlic mixture, ketchup, and olive oil until smooth.

Heat a griddle (or Plancha) and add olive oil to it.

Cook the pork patties on the griddle until well done, ensuring they reach medium to medium-well doneness.

Fry an egg sunny side up to use as a topping for the burger.

Toast the potato buns on the griddle with a brush of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Assemble the burger by spreading romesco ketchup on the bottom bun, adding hash browns, the cooked pork patty, the fried egg, and a generous amount of cheese on top.
