This recipe combines lean ground pork with spicy Caribbean flavours such as thyme and red pepper, resulting in a juicy and flavourful burger that's perfect for the grill. Topped with fresh vegetables and served on toasted buns, these burgers are guaranteed to be a hit with family and friends.

4.	With your hands, shape each portion into a patty.
5.	Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, and carefully place the patties onto the hot grate.
