Chef Notes
When I was thinking about how to use the Jamaican Jerk Seasoning, I though back to our visit to Jamaica. We had great jerk chicken and goat at a little roadside place. I know lamb is easier to get than goat and more widely accepted, so turned that idea into a burger that could be easily grilled. I knew I wanted to balance the char from the grill with something sweet and mangos grow in Jamaica, too. The Fresno chili brings a touch of heat, but doesn’t overwhelm the jerk flavor. The roasted garlic aioli gives the burger some umami creaminess to tie it all together.
