Caribbean Style Burger With Jerk Ketchup And Beer Battered Onions Recipes

CARIBBEAN-STYLE BURGER WITH JERK KETCHUP AND BEER BATTERED ONIONS

Steps:

• For the ketchup: Combine the ketchup with the allspice, cayenne, chile flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, thyme and lime juice.
• For the onion rings: Preheat a deep fryer with canola oil to 375 degrees F. Combine the flour with some beer until the batter is the consistency of pancake batter, a quarter to half of the bottle. Slice the onion into 1/2-inch rings, then separate the individual rings. Add the onions into the wet mixture. Fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the onion rings and immediately sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
• For the burger: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Combine the beef with the allspice, cayenne, chile flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar and thyme. Form the beef into 2 to 4 patties then press the center of each with your thumb to create an indent. Drizzle the patties with olive oil. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper. Cook until the center is medium pink, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
• Assemble the burgers on the buns topped with the jerk ketchup and serve with the onion rings.

CARIBBEAN JERK BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. Combine dressing, mayonnaise and seasoning. Set aside.
• 2. Place frozen burgers on baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. Turn burgers. Spread half of jerk mixture on top of burgers. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes more.
• 3. Toss together cabbages and remaining jerk mixture. Top burgers with cabbage mixture.
• ON THE GRILL:
• Preheat grill
• Use a food thermometer to be sure patties reach minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
• Helpful Hints: Save time and energy by substituting purchased cole slaw mix for both the red and green cabbage in this spicy burger recipe. The fabulous flavor stays the same, but you don't have to clean and chop cabbage.
