Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug

Roast the wedges & prep

  • Cut the potatoes into wedges (peel optional), then add to the lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 mins, until golden
  • Meanwhile, dice the peppers into 1cm chunks. Drain the pineapple, reserving all of the juice, then halve the pieces. Roughly chop the coriander. Trim and roughly chop the lettuce

Make the pineapple salsa

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and cook for 3-4 mins, until starting to char. Season with salt, then transfer to the medium bowl and allow to cook slightly
  • Add the pineapple chunks and coriander to the pepper bowl, along with the juice from a lime (or to taste) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside

Cook the burgers

  • Reheat the frying pan with 1/2 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burgers and cook for 2 mins per side
  • Transfer the burgers to the potato tray and roast for 10 mins, until cooked through

Make the pineapple sauce

  • Drain off most of the burger fat, and return the pan to medium heat. Once hot, add the tomatoes, jerk seasoning, smoked paprika and tomato puree and cook for 2-3 mins. Pour in the reserved pineapple juice, honey and 100ml water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 4-6 mins, until the sauce thickens

Plate up

  • Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
  • Return the burgers to the pan and coat in the pineapple sauce
  • When ready, add the salad leaves to the medium bowl and toss to combine
  • Serve the burgers on plates, with the wedges and pineapple salsa alongside
