Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon grated lime peel
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps

  • 1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. In medium bowl, mix all ingredients except onion, bread and oil. Shape mixture into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  • 2
    Place patties on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 to 18 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink in center. For last 8 to 10 minutes of cooking, add onion slices; cook, turning once, until golden brown. Brush both sides of bread slices with oil. Add bread to grill for last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking; cook, turning once, until golden brown.
  • 3
    Serve burgers and onion between bread slices.

  • These zesty burgers pack a spicy punch, pleasantly cooled by the lime peel. When grating the lime, do not include the white membrane--it adds a bitter taste.
  • If you don't have ground pork on hand, you can substitute ground beef.
