Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Ingredients

1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
4 limes, juiced
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
2 fresh mangos
1 bunch scallions, green and white parts, thinly sliced
4 sprigs mint, leaves torn
2 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 brioche hamburger buns, toasted
Vegetable oil, as needed
Mayonnaise, as needed
6 leaves green leaf lettuce
1 avocado, peeled and thinly sliced

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.

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Ingredients

1/4 cup jerk seasoning, such as Grace's Dried Jerk Seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 boneless chicken breasts
1 cup mango puree
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sriracha
1 lime, juiced
1/2 bottle beer, such as Red Stripe
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Caribbean Mango Slaw, recipe follows, for serving
3/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 lime, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, cut into chiffonade
1 head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
1 cup chopped almonds (reserve some for garnish)
1 mango, sliced thin or julienned (reserve some for garnish)

Steps:

Combine the jerk seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Rub the chicken with the jerk mixture (do not over season, or the dry rub will cake up and become too thick) and marinate, refrigerated, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
Combine the mango puree, honey, sriracha, lime juice, beer and some salt and pepper in a small saucepan and heat until the mixture comes to a boil; set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook without moving for 3 minutes. Flip over and brush lightly with the mango glaze. Continue cooking until cooked all the way through (to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F), about another 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and brush with more glaze. Tent loosely with foil to keep warm. Serve with Caribbean Mango Slaw.
Combine the olive oil, honey, vinegar, mustard, sriracha, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl and whisk until well blended. Add the carrots, parsley, mint, cabbage and most of the almonds and mango and toss until well coated. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining almonds and mango.
