Honey Garlic Chile Burgers With Mango Slaw Recipes

SOUTHWEST "CHILI" BURGERS WITH AVOCADO CREMA AND LIME-MARINATED SLAW

Steps:

• To make the slaw: mix all the slaw ingredients together. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
• Prepare charcoal grill for medium-hot direct-heat cooking.
• To make the Chili Rojo: add all chili ingredients, except extra wine, to a blender or food processor. Puree thoroughly, using extra wine if necessary to make a thick, smooth sauce.
• To make the burger patties: take 6 tablespoons ground beef and mix with 6 tablespoons Chile Rojo. Make 6 equal hand-formed patties with the remaining ground beef. Place 2 tablespoons of the chile mixture onto the center of each patty. Carefully enclose each patty around the chile mixture to form a ball. Carefully flatten each ball back into a thick patty, keeping the chile mixture inside. Season the patties liberally with salt and pepper.
• To make the Crema: mash the avocados in a food processor or with a potato masher. Add the rest of the ingredients and fold gently until thoroughly mixed.
• When the grill is hot, oil the grill rack and cook the burgers over a medium-high flame until done, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. If the exterior of the patties begins to burn, move them to a cooler side of the grill until the centers have had a chance to cook. Add a slice of cheese to each patty about 1 minute before they are done. Let patties rest off the heat for 1 or 2 minutes after cooking, and meanwhile toast the buns on a cooler side of the grill.
• To assemble the burgers: spread each bun bottom with a layer of Avocado Crema. Add about 1/3 cup slaw, a patty with melted cheese, then a tablespoon of chili ketchup, and finally the bun top.

CARIBBEAN BURGERS WITH MANGO SLAW

Steps:

• Make the slaw: Toss the cabbage with the lime juice, 1 tablespoon Sriracha, 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until combined. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• Preheat the broiler. Combine the beef, teriyaki sauce, ginger, garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon Sriracha,1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Mix with your hands until combined. Form into 6 patties (¾ inch thick) and place on a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Broil the patties until lightly charred in spots, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Meanwhile, peel the mangoes. Thinly slice 1 mango and chop the other into small pieces.
• Add the chopped mango, scallions and mint to the slaw mixture and toss. Add the sugar if the mangoes aren't sweet enough. Serve the burgers on the buns with mayonnaise, lettuce, the sliced mango and avocado. Serve the slaw on the side.
