ISLAND PICNIC PORK BURGERS
On a recent trip to the Caribbean, I fell in love with the sweet and spicy flavors typical of their cooking. I ate a similar burger with fresh papaya at a beachside café, where all the grilling was done right on the beach! When I got home, I wanted to recreate this delicious burger.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste). Handling the meat as little as possible, mix well. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions; form into 4 patties to fit the buns. Cover.
- 2. In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, orange zest, orange juice, and mint. Cover; set aside.
- 3. In a medium saucepan, over medium high heat on stovetop, add olive oil. When oil is hot, add onions and red and orange bell pepper. Cook, stirring ocasionally, 4-5 minutes or until softened. Add 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, Jerk seasoning, and pineapple-coconut juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3-5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat; stir in pineapples. Cover to keep warm.
- 4. In a medium frying skillet, over medium high heat, pour vegetable oil to cover bottom and about 1/2 inch up sides. Fry sweet potato sticks, in batches if needed, until crisp and golden, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-lined plate to drain. Do not cover.
- 5. Preheat a large grill pan over medium high heat. Lightly spray grill pan with nonstick cooking spray. When pan is hot, grill patties, flipping once, about 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Place buns, cut side down, on grill; grill 1-2 minutes or until lightly toasted.
- 6. To serve, spread orange-mint mayonnaise over cut side of each bottom bun. Top each with greens, a patty, onion-pepper relish, sweet potato fries, dividing all components into equal portions. Sprinkle with cilantro. Top with top buns. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Pulse the bacon and garlic in a food processor until coarsely ground.
- Combine the ground pork, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the sage in a large bowl. Add the bacon mixture and gently mix with your hands. Gently form the meat into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties. Make a 2-inch-wide indentation in the center of each with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when grilled.
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Season the patties with pepper. Grill, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and grill until the other side is marked and the patties feel firm, 4 to 6 more minutes. Meanwhile, spread the cut sides of the buns with butter and toast on the grill.
- Serve the patties on the buns; top with coleslaw.

Steps:
- For the quick pickles: Add the vinegar, 1/2 cup water, sugar, mustard seeds, salt, garlic and bay leaf to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Once the sugar has dissolved in the simmering liquid, add the cucumbers and dill to a heat-proof container and pour over the pickling liquid. Let sit for at least 10 minutes. Chop 2 tablespoons for the dressing, and reserve the rest for serving.
- For the 18000 island dressing: In a food processor add the mayonnaise, ketchup, jalapenos, chopped quick pickles, Dijon, garlic and some salt. Puree, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- For the burgers: Heat a cast-iron skillet or large heavy griddle pan over medium-high heat.
- Combine the chuck and brisket and form into 4 balls with your hands.
- Add the canola oil to the heated griddle. Place the burger balls on the griddle and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Then, using a spatula, press the balls down, flattening them down as you spread them out. You want a thin, crusty burger and that's all about creating surface area, so press away. Let the burger get a nice char on one side, and then flip so they get nice and crusty brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Butter and toast, or griddle, the sesame seed buns. Once toasted, add 1 to 2 slices cheese to each bottom bun. Place the burger on the bottom bun with the cheese. Top the burger with some tomato slices, quick pickles and iceberg lettuce. Spread some of the 18000 island dressing on the top bun and top the burger. Appreciate the old school classic.

QUICK AND EASY PORK BURGERS
Well, I made these up using our favorite ingredients. Ground pork is sometimes less expensive than ground beef. We have also had this with ground turkey and ground chicken. Everyone who has had them says that they are moist and flavorful. They are also easy to make! I usually make 4, we eat 2 and I freeze 2 to cook later. Enjoy! Let me know what you think of these :) .
