Recipe: Caribbean Beef Burgers with Mango Salsa

CARIBBEAN BEEF BURGERS WITH MANGO SALSA

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 tablespoons dry Caribbean jerk seasoning
Salt
FOR THE MANGO SALSA:
1 large mango, peeled, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
thick slices of Hawaiian or challah bread, toasted on the grill (optional, for serving)

Combine ground beef and jerk seasoning in a large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 3/4-inch thick patties.

Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes to medium (160 degrees F) doneness, until no longer pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning frequently. Season with salt, as desired.

Meanwhile, combine salsa ingredients in a medium bowl, mixing lightly.

Burgers may be served open-faced on thick slices of Hawaiian or challah bread, toasted on the grill. Top with salsa.

Servings: 4
