- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, chopped scallions, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients together until well combined without overworking the meat. Form into 4 equal-sized patties and set aside.
Prepare the mango salsa by combining the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface with the vegetable oil.
Cook the pork patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a grilled pork patty. Top each patty with a generous scoop of mango salsa.
If desired, spread mayonnaise on the top half of the bun before placing it on top of the burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Caribbean Pork Burgers!
