Allright compadres. Here goes. I'll tell you what I did, then bust out some wicked pics.
The only way to make burgers is to grind your own meat (not a masterbation reference, and not offensive).
I prefer a blend of Skirt steak and Chuck.
This time I sliced the steak into strips and coated with my own proprietary JERK seasoning prior to grinding.
Then I done ground it.
Patties were grilled over charcoal on the Big Blue Weber.
Meanwhile I made up a bunch of other stuff.
My favorite baked good, a Jamaican recipe for Coco Bread is PERFECT for jerk burgers.
I made a salsa using green mangoes from my tree, which included fresh mint, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
I made a jerk mayo with, duh, mayo, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and some homemade jerk powder.
I made Tostones from green Plantin's
Also I fried up some queso blanco, called "queso para frier". It's so good. It makes it's own crust when you fry it.
I threw it all together for the burger, and it was amazing!!!!!!!
Note: The grind of the beef was quite coarse, which didn't allow for a "pink in the middle" product. The whole thing was steamed in its own juices.
So juicy and awesome.
Buena.

Wow I am amazed at the awesomeness and creativity going on here. I am afraid, I am not going to be able to join in the festivities. Two reasons simply: one, I had to work all weekend covering for a sick co-worker at the bar, and two, I tore up my knee-meniscus and cannot deal with any more walking right now. Sorry, guess I will have to learn to cook a veggie burger. Carry on, and well done everyone.
FD Yu speaky my language I like all those flavors! And the patties are the right size with good char (I ilke more but that's good nuf)!
Good flavours you've got going on in there FD. There is still a hint of pinkness and it looks juicy. Nice.
And to be self serving, I edited my entry on page 12 to include the basic cooking techniques. That was page 12.

I'd say "well played FD", but I've never had green mango. Never even thought of it. And if someone handed it to me, I just might turn them down on the offer. Blame it on ignorance, maybe.
Can you descirbe what green mango is like for the rest of us?

Green mango is just an unripe mango the flavor has sour notes and sweet notes, it's dried and used in Indian cooking.
gemme I can't beat FD in this but I have an idea for the alternative meat w3 so if you're gonna hold me to one hold me to that one.

A-hole (sum). We eat green mango together every weekend at my place.
Closest I can come up with is a REALLY TART green apple. But not quite as sweet.
It is sold in central America as a snack with lime juice and salt.
I made mine with a semi-ripe (sweeter) mango too. And added a chili.
It was so good on the burger!!
Had mine with mayo and ketchup. Great job bro! Good sweat without tears.
Sum is sweating.
It's a comin' G. Perfection takes time...
