Pump up the flavor and cut the cholesterol with these healthy grilled tuna burgers topped with juicy pineapple slices.

Brought to you by:

Ingredients:

Makes 4 Servings

1-1/2 pounds fresh tuna steak
2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
2 inches fresh ginger (peeled and finely chopped)
1 Tablespoon lite soy sauce
3 scallions (thinly sliced)
1 fresh pineapple (peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch round slices)
1 teaspoon white pepper
4 hamburger buns

Optional Fixings:
red onion, sliced
lettuce
tomatoes, sliced

Directions:

1.

Cut the tuna into 1-inch cubes. Place cubes in the bowl of a food processor in batches and pulse until the consistency of ground beef. (If you do not have a food processor, chop the tuna into very small pieces.)
2.

Place the tuna in a bowl and add the cloves of garlic, ginger, soy sauce, scallions, salt, and white pepper.
3.

Using your fingers, combine all ingredients together.
4.

Shape the tuna mixture into 4 patties. Refrigerate in a Ziploc® Brand Storage Bag or Ziploc® Brand container until ready to grill.
5.

Peel and slice the pineapple into 1/2-inch slices and grill on both sides for 2 minutes. Set aside.
6.

Grill the patties over a medium fire, 3 minutes per side for rare, or 6 minutes per side for well done.
7.

Choose your favorite hamburger buns and lightly grill, if desired. Place the grilled tuna patty on the bun and top with a slice of grilled pineapple. Add your favorite hamburger fixings.

Chef's Note:

Make sure you keep tuna (cooked or uncooked) refrigerated at 32 degrees F or colder (the average home refrigerator runs around 40 degrees F); if you don't, bacteria in the tuna can produce histamine, the same substance released by your body during an allergic reaction.
