HOT STUFF

We all know fire works wonders on meat and vegetables. But we often forget that it also can do amazing things for fruit.

To prove the point, we decided to come up with a summer grilling recipe that puts the heat to all of the above meat, vegetables and fruit.We start by making a grilled salsa built around tomatillos, mangos, red onion and Peppadew peppers.Then we created a blue cheese-blended patty that is equal parts burger and meatloaf, the perfect base to spoon the salsa onto. The result is a moist, tender burger with tons of flavor in and on it.If you can't find Peppadews, substitute jarred banana peppers for a similar tang without a lot of heat.Grilled Tomatillo and Mango Salsa Over Blue Cheese Meatloaf BurgersStart to finish: 20 minutesServings: 612 ounces ground pork12 ounces ground chuck1 egg, beatenHalf cup breadcrumbsHalf cup crumbled blue cheese1 tablespoon Dijon mustard2 scallions, chopped2 tablespoons chopped fresh thymeKosher salt and ground black pepper4 large tomatillos, halvedOlive oil2 mangos, peeled, pitted and cut into spears1 small red onion, cut into quarter-inch-thick slicesQuarter cup chopped Peppadew peppersHot sauce, to taste6 large burger bunsIn a medium bowl, mix together the pork, chuck, egg, breadcrumbs, blue cheese, mustard, scallions, thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt and a half teaspoon of pepper.Divide into 6 portions, shape into patties and press an indent into the center with your thumb.
