Ingredients
  • 2 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/3 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 small fresh red chile, such as thai or serrano, seeded and minced
  • 1 star anise pod
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chile garlic paste
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 green onions, white and green parts, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed through a press
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • vegetable oil, for brushing
  • 6 soft hamburger buns
  • 6 slices bacon, halved crosswise and cooked until crisp
  • 6 red lettuce leaves
Directions
  1. In a non-reactive saucepan over high heat, bring the ingredients to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the juices have reduced by half, for about 20 minutes.
  3. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring often, until the juices have evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer the chutney to a bowl and let cool. Discard the star anise. (The chutney can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before serving.)
  5. Stir the ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  6. In a medium bowl, mix the ingredients together until combined. Shape into 6 patties, each about 3 1/2 inches (9 centimeters) in diameter.
  7. Make a deep, wide indentation in each burger to keep it from shrinking into a dome during cooking. Refrigerate the patties until ready to cook.
