Sesame-Ginger Pork Patty with Grilled Pineapple

Ditch the bun and serve this Asian-inspired Sesame-Ginger Pork Patty with with sweet Grilled Pineapple on top of a zesty watercress-and-carrot salad.... or... just put it on a bun! Thank you Eating Well

3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 scallions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
4 pineapple rings, ¼ inch thick
4 cups watercress (about 1 large bunch), tough stems removed
1 cup shredded carrot

  • Combine soy sauce, scallions, garlic, ginger and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a small bowl.
  • Place pork in a medium bowl. 
  • Add half of the sauce mixture to the pork and gently combine without over mixing. 
  • Form into 4 patties, about ¾ inch thick. 
  • Add the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil and vinegar to the remaining sauce mixture and set aside.
  • Cook either on  a grill rack or in a non stick pan
  • Grill the burgers, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155°F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. 
  • During the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the pineapple rings to the grill and cook, turning once, until dark grill marks appear.
  • Combine watercress and carrot in a large bowl. 
  • Toss with 2 tablespoons of the reserved sauce. 
  • Divide the salad among 4 plates. 
  • Top each portion with a pineapple ring and a burger. 
  • Drizzle any remaining sauce on top.
