Instructions

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 220 C.

Step 2

Cut the potatoes into wedges (8 wedges per potato). Drizzle olive oil and generously season with salt free lemon pepper seasoning. Toss and spread them on a baking paper lined tray. Bake for about 20-25minutes or until browned.

Step 3

In the meantime, add the pork, eggs, breadcrumbs and Jamaican seasoning to a bowl and mix well. Shape into 4 patties. Optional: if there are those who can eat salt, shape the salt free patties first, and then season the remaining mince with a little salt.

Step 4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat, and cook the patties 5-7 minutes each side until cooked through.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the mayo and bbq sauce.

Step 6

Slice the buns in half, and divide the slaw on each bottom half of the bun. Top with a tbsp sauce.

Step 7

When the patties are done place them on the slaw. Return the pan to high heat and cook the pineapple slices until browned on each side.

Step 8

Place the pineapple slices on the patties and add the top half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve with the wedges. Optional for those who can eat salt: add salt shaker and tomato sauce on table for the wedges.
