Caribbean Pork Burgers

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.
