Hawaiian Burgers
This post is under construction, new photos to come.
Grilled sweet onion on top of a delicious juicy hamburger with a ring of pineapple grilled into it. All this is topped with a honey wasabi mayo that will knock your socks off.
While your grill is heating up, butter your buns. In my opinion the bun makes the burger, so go to your local bakery and get yourself some good homemade buns. Or you could make them yourself…I have never done that. Yet.
Now if you have a griddle, or a fry pan will work too, grill your buns; or you could also stick them under the broiler…but don’t get distracted. I have burned a whole bakery full of bread in my lifetime forgetting it under the broiler.
Voila! Perfection.
Now your grill is nice and hot, go throw your burgers on the fire. But YOU NEED TO put them on with the pineapple facing down first. DO NOT put them on as shown in the above picture. It will work, but not really.
-Cook 4-5 minutes per side for medium done burgers.
-If you like cheese on your burgers, smoked provolone is a good one for this burger place it on there 30 seconds, more or less, before you remove your burgers from the grill.
You can grill your onion or put it on your burger raw. What ever floats your boat. My boat floats with my onions grilled.
Condiments are very important in my life. I actually believe that it would be extremely hard to live with out them. My husband on the other hand goes through life condiment free. I would call him a name right now, but I love him and I usually don’t swear, and I would not want you to get the wrong idea about us. Let’s just say I make up for the lack of mayo in his life, and I have a muffin top to prove it! Sorry…I’m reigning it in…back on track. I think the Wasabi Mayo is the star of this show. I love it. It is awesome on sandwiches…everyday.
Wasabi Mayo
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon wasabi paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
OK now build that burger! I was also missing the lettuce, which would have made my photo much more palatable, but hey. This is a real house, with real people in it, that really don’t always have it all together. It was fabulous with our with or without the lettuce. I hope you try this. Let me know what you think if you do.

Oh wow, how did I ever miss this post? These look fantastic, remind me of burgers we would order at our favorite joint in Oahu! I am totally making these next week, my stomach is growling already!
Karrie, So glad you enjoyed them as much as we do. What a great meal to send someone off to Hawaii with. FUN!
I made these last week when my husband's brother and his daughter and his sister and her friend were over. Hannah (my niece) was flying out the next morning to Hawaii to begin 6 months of ministry and I was searching for the perfect farewell dinner…when I remembered this recipe! They were AMAZING!!!! I have never had a more delicious burger!! I paired it with some baked fries made from sweet potatoes and regular potatoes and a yummy cabbage and bean salad!!
All I can say to this recipe is WOW! Will have to fix this one. I like your blog. Open to anyone to follow?
