Pork Burgers with Grilled Pineapple Salsa

Ingredients 0/18

Step 1

Warm your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the pineapple and peppers with a tablespoon of olive oil on a baking sheet, then roast them for about 15 to 20 minutes until they’re nicely browned, stirring now and then so they don’t burn. While that’s cooking, warm the rest of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until it’s soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Once the pineapple and peppers are done, pop them into a blender or food processor along with the sautéed onion, orange juice, salt, and pepper. Blend everything until smooth, then stir in some fresh cilantro and let the salsa chill in the fridge for around an hour to let the flavors meld.

Step 3

In a big bowl, mix together the ground pork with seasoned salt, paprika, dill, garlic powder, a dash of hot sauce, and red pepper. Use your hands to combine everything really well, then shape the mixture into eight even patties.

Step 4

Get your grill heated to medium-high and give the grates a light oiling to prevent sticking. Cook the burgers for 5 to 7 minutes on each side—5 minutes if you like them medium-well, or 7 minutes for well done. When they’re ready, pile the patties onto buns and top with that delicious grilled pineapple salsa. Enjoy!
