Woman's Day: Fire Up the Grill!






List of Ingredients



• 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  
• 2 Tbsp catsup
  
• 2 tsp plus 2 Tbsp jerk seasoning sauce
  
• 4 hamburger buns
  
• 1-1/4 lbs. lean ground pork, shaped into 4 (4-inch) patties
  
• 4 green lettuce leaves
  
• 1 large ripe tomato, cut into 8 slices
  
• Grilled Pineapple, Peppers and Onions (see accompanying recipe, below)
  






Instructions



1. Heat barbecue grill or ridged grill pan. In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, catsup and 2 teaspoons jerk seasoning sauce. Grill buns, cut sides down, 1 minute or until browned. Remove to serving platter.
   
   
2. Spread one side of burgers with 1 tablespoon remaining jerk sauce. Place sauce-side down on grill; spread tops with remaining 1 tablespoon jerk sauce. Grill burgers 5 to 6 minutes per side, until an instant-read thermometer inserted from side of burgers to center registers 160 degrees (F).
   
   
3. Serve on buns with mayonnaise mixture, lettuce and tomato slices. Serve Grilled Pineapple, Peppers and Onions (recipe follows) alongside.
   
   Makes 4 servings.
   
   GRILLED PINEAPPLE, PEPPERS AND ONIONS: Grill 2 green bell peppers, quartered and seeded, 5 to 6 minutes per side, until slightly charred and crisp-tender. Remove to a serving platter. Lightly coat 4 (1-inch thick) slices fresh pinapple and 4 (1/2-inch thick) large slices Spanish onion with nonstick cooking spray. Grill pineapple 2 minutes per side or until heated through, and onion 3 minutes per side or until slightly charred and crisp-tender. Add to platter; drizzle with 1/4 cup bottled low-fat honey-Dijon dressing and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
