Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 fresh pineapple, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 poblano peppers, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 small red onion, coarsely chopped
¼ cup orange juice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 pounds ground pork
3 teaspoons seasoned salt
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons hot pepper sauce
½ teaspoon ground red chile pepper
8 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Layer pineapple and peppers on a baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent overbrowning.
  • Meanwhile heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine pineapple-pepper mixture, onion, orange juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Puree until salsa is thoroughly combined. Add cilantro and blend lightly. Chill for approximately 1 hour.
  • Combine ground pork, seasoned salt, paprika, dill, garlic powder, hot sauce, and red pepper in a large bowl. Blend well using your hands. Shape mixture into 8 patties.
  • Preheat a gas or charcoal grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Grill burgers until browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Cook 5 minutes for medium-well; 7 minutes for well done.
  • Place burgers on buns and garnish with pineapple salsa.

I love how this recipe combines flavors from different cultures. The savory pork burgers are a classic American dish, while the pineapple salsa adds a tropical twist. It's a unique and delicious fusion that I highly recommend trying.

To save time, I prep the pineapple salsa ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When it's time to grill the burgers, all I have to do is assemble them and cook. It's a great way to streamline the cooking process.

This recipe is a great value for the money. Ground pork is relatively inexpensive, and the other ingredients are all pantry staples. It's a delicious and affordable meal that the whole family will love.

The leftovers of these burgers were just as good the next day. I reheated them in the oven and served them with a side salad. They were a great way to enjoy the flavors all over again.

I took the presentation of these burgers up a notch by serving them on toasted brioche buns with a side of grilled pineapple slices. It made them look and taste even more special.

For those who like a bit of heat, I recommend adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the salsa. It gives it a nice kick without being overwhelming.

I made a few healthy swaps to this recipe, using whole-wheat buns and reducing the amount of oil in the salsa. The burgers were still delicious and satisfying, and I felt good about serving them to my family.

Really enjoyed the fact that these burgers can be made using lean ground pork, making them a healthier alternative to traditional beef burgers. The pineapple salsa also adds a refreshing twist.
