2-1/2 cups (625 mL) chicken stock
1 tbsp (15 mL) wine vinegar

In bowl, whisk egg; whisk in 1/4 cup (50 mL) water, minced green onions, garlic, pickle, bread crumbs, mustard, horseradish, thyme, salt and pepper. Mix in pork; shape into four 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown patties; transfer to plate. Drain off any fat from pan.
Groovy Gravy: In same pan, cook onion and garlic over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, mash together flour, butter and pepper to form paste; whisk into liquid. Add patties and any accumulated juices; simmer until sauce is thick enough to coat back of spoon, patties are no longer pink inside and meat thermometer inserted in centre of patty registers 170°F (75°C), about 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions.
