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.

MY FAVORITE BURGER

Steps:

• Place the ground beef into a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper. Add a few dashes of Tabasco sauce. With your hands, mix the meat and seasoning well. Set aside.Next, for the onions, heat a medium skillet over low heat. Add in 2 tablespoons butter. Dump in the sliced (not too thick, not too thin) red onions. Now add 2 generous tablespoons brown sugar. Give it a toss to combine the ingredients, and then allow the onions to caramelize over low heat for about twenty minutes, tossing occasionally.While the onions are caramelizing, make the spicy mayo: Place ¼ cup mayonnaise into a small bowl and simply add a few dashes of Tabasco. Stir together and test for taste.Next, slice the Kaiser rolls in half and spread each half with about ½ tablespoon of butter. Place them face down on a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grill the rolls so they'll be tough enough to hold the spicy mayo. Let the rolls cool on a plate until you need them.Form the meat into two patties and place on a grill pan or skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Allow each to cook about 3 minutes, then using a spatula, rotate 45 degrees, leaving it on the same side. Flip the burger and cook it for a couple of minutes, rotating it 45 degrees again to get the nice grill marks. Now add a large helping of caramelized onions over top of that glorious patty, followed by an equally generous helping of crumbled blue cheese. As it finishes cooking, spread the spicy mayo on the Kaiser rolls and transfer the burger onto the bottom half of the bun. Top with a handful of greens and top with the bun.

CARIBBEAN BURGERS WITH MANGO SLAW

Steps:

• For the slaw: Toss the cabbage with the lime juice, sriracha, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• Cut the mangos into spears. Reserve 12 spears for your burgers. Chop the remaining spears for your slaw. Add them to the slaw just before serving along with the scallions and mint and toss to finish.
• For the burgers: Combine the ground beef, teriyaki sauce, sriracha, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix with your hands until combined. Form into 6 patties roughly 3/4-inch thick and 4 inches in diameter.
• Brush a grill, grill pan or skillet with vegetable oil and heat on medium-high. When nice and hot, add the patties and cook for about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Take them off the heat.
• To build the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Season with salt and pepper. Place a lettuce leaf on top of the seasoned mayo and top it with a patty, 2 slices of avocado, 2 spears of the reserved mango and the bun lid. Repeat with the 5 other burgers. Serve the slaw on the side.
