Preparing the Caramelized Onions:

Cooking the Pork Burgers:
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with oil to prevent sticking.

Assembling Your Gourmet Burgers:
Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a pork burger patty on top of the aioli.
