CARIBBEAN BURGERS WITH MANGO SLAW

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.

RACHAEL RAY'S CARIBBEAN BURGERS WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet with EVOO, two turns of the pan, over medium-high heat.
• Place meat of choice into a mixing bowl. Combine the dry spices and sugar in a small dish, then sprinkle evenly over the meat. Add fresh basil or cilantro, lots of salt and pepper to the meat. Mix the meat and spices and form four large patties. Make a divot in the center of the burger. As the burgers cook, the well will swell up and you'll end up with a flat surface instead of the dreaded burger bulge. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, turning once.
• While the burgers cook, make the mango salsa: in a small bowl, combine the mango, red pepper, jalapeño, cucumber and lime zest and juice. Season with salt, to taste.
• Toast the buns lightly under a hot broiler.
• When the burgers are done, transfer them to bun bottoms and top with Bibb lettuce, lots of salsa and bun tops. Serve burgers with a few chips alongside.
