These spicy pork burgers are the perfect recipe to usher in the summer sunshine! A good dash of cayenne pepper, allspice and cinnamon gives these burgers a delicious jerk flavour. Ask your butcher to mince whole cuts of pork shoulder as this contains the perfect fat content to ensure your burgers taste super juicy.
Best served with a cooling mango salsa and sweet potato fries, these burgers would be great on a BBQ (weather permitting) or as a midweek supper.

I so want to try this. Thanks for posting.
I was just about to say the same!
I’ll have to try it this summer, when we BBQ more. Sounds awesome.
These look great. I want to eat them all summer long. Especially with sweet potato fries. Can’t wait for barbecue season to start up and I can enjoy these with a nice glass of rosé (which I think would work well probably, even though I am definitely not a wine connaisseur)
I can’t wait either – these will be fantastic cooked over some charcoal and wood! Sparkling rosé would wash it down nicely!
