Grilled tomatillo and mango salsa over blue cheese meatloaf burgers
Start to finish: 20 minutes
Servings: 6
12 ounces ground pork
12 ounces ground chuck
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
4 large tomatillos, halved
Olive oil
2 mangos, peeled, pitted and cut into spears
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup chopped Peppadew peppers
Hot sauce, to taste
6 large burger buns
In a medium bowl, mix together the pork, chuck, egg, breadcrumbs, blue cheese, mustard, scallions, thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Divide into 6 portions, shape into patties and press an indent into the center with your thumb. Set aside.
Heat the grill to high.
Arrange the tomatillos, mangos and red onion on a rimmed baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Grill the tomatillos, mangos and red onion until lightly charred and tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then dice. Mix together in a bowl along with the chopped peppers. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Set aside.
Grill the burgers for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Serve on buns topped with the salsa.
