Jerk Hamburgers with Pineapple Chilli Relish
Home » COOK » Recipes »
I recently shared my Tropical Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips, which I made using a Zyliss EasyPull Food processor, well, that was the dessert for this dish – Jerky Hamburgers with Pineapple Chilli Relish. I used the EasyPull to make the relish, which was chopped up in no time. The relish is made with pineapple, red chilli, coriander, red onion, and lime juice and was a great accompaniment to this burger. It would also serve well as a salsa to go with chips.
I chopped up the coriander and chilli together first, and cut it quite fine, before adding the pineapple, which I wanted to be a little bit chunkier. I cut the onion separately and combined these ingredients with lime juice and a bit of salt to taste.
The burgers are very easy to make – we always make our own burgers these days – we know exactly what is going in them then! My husband is chief burger maker in this house, so he mixed together some beef mince with a little finely chopped onion (done in the EasyPull), some grated carrot, and jerk seasoning. We have a burger press which makes burger making simple, but if you don’t have one, just ball some of the meat mixture in your hands, and then flatten into a burger shape. These then went under the grill for 5 minutes or so on each side until cooked through. They would also do well on the BBQ.
The burgers were served in buns with some shredded lettuce, a dollop of the pineapple chilli relish and some plantain chips on the side.

Now that’s what I call a burger! The relish sounds like the kind of thing I’d eat on it’s own as well.
