Jamaican Jerk Burgers

These Jamaican Jerk Burgers are loaded with strong Jamaican spices and are great for anyone who loves food with real heat. Serve with lots of lettuce and a sweet pickle to cool things down.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon dried breadcrumbs
• 3 fresh Jalapeño peppers or 1 scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped
• 1/2 an inch of ginger, grated
• juice from 1/2 small orange

• 2 green/spring onions, chopped
• 2 teaspoons of allspice
• large pinch of nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons of hot sauce sauce
• 4 burger buns

Method:

• Combine the beef with all of the other ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Cover the mixture and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours so the Jamaican jerk flavors can infuse into the meat.
• Shape the beef mixture into 4 patties and Broil/Grill each burger for 5 minutes on each side or until the meat is fully cooked. Serve on toasted burger buns with lots of salad and a sweet pickle.
