Hawaiian Pork Burger with Citrus Grilled Pineapple, Zucchini & Onion Hawaiian Pork Burger with Citrus Grilled Pineapple, Zucchini & Onion — a 45-minute dinner recipe with 14 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 cloves garlic

3 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

1.02 kg lean ground pork

1 ½ limes

1 ½ small pineapples

1 ½ medium red onions

6 whole grain buns or rolls

3 medium zucchini squash

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

mayonnaise

panko bread crumbs

salt

soy sauce

Instructions

If using wooden skewers, place 12-18 skewers in a shallow dish of water to soak until you are ready to use them.

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim zucchini and cut crosswise into 1-inch rounds. Peel, halve, and cut onions lengthwise into 1-inch wide wedges; place both in a large bowl.

Cut off skin from each pineapple, halve, and remove the core. Cut a portion of the pineapple into 12 thin slices to place on top of the burgers; set aside for serving. Large dice remaining pineapples and add to the bowl with the veggies.

Zest limes into the bowl with the veggies and pineapple (set limes aside for later); drizzle with oil, season with salt, and toss to combine.

Thread veggies and pineapple onto skewers and place on a plate; alternatively, you can cook the veggies and pineapple directly on the grill pan. (Reserve the bowl for later use.)

Preheat a grill pan or regular skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the grill pan is hot, working in batches if necessary, add skewers and cook, turning occasionally, until the veggies are charred and tender, 4-5 minutes. Return to the plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil.

Meanwhile, peel and mince garlic and ginger; place both in the reserved bowl.

Add pork, bread crumbs, soy sauce, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the garlic and ginger; use your hands to thoroughly combine. Form into 6 equal-sized patties and place on a plate.

When the skewers are done, coat the grill with oil. Working in batches if necessary, place burger patties on the grill and cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes; flip patties, and grill an additional 3-4 minutes, until cooked through. Once done, transfer to a clean plate.

While the burgers are cooking, cut reserved limes into wedges.

Toast buns on the grill (if desired).

Spread mayo over the bottom half of each bun; top with a pork burger and two slices of pineapple. Close with the top half of each bun.

To serve, divide burgers and skewers between plates. Squeeze lime over the skewers and enjoy!
