Instructions

Preheat a gas grill to medium-high or prepare a charcoal grill to medium-high.

To make the Red Wine Sauce, take the cup of wine, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes and put it in a heavy bottom sauce pan on low heat and cook until

the sauce reduces by half.

To make the slaw, combine the sugar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, cilantro leaves and the EVOO in a bowl. Whisk briskly and then add the jicama, cabbage, red and yellow bell peppers. Mix well and let flavor meld together at least 30 minutes before use.

To make Patties: combine chuck, salt and red wine sauce. shape into 6b patties handling as little as possible. Cover and let sit until ready to grill.

Place the patties on the grill rack and cover until desired doneness. I cook mine 6-8 minutes per side for medium well. Toast rolls on grill cut side down until lightly brown about 1-2 minutes.

To assemble burgers, spread mango mayo on each side of the bun, place patty on bottom roll followed by a thick slice of tomato and heaping tablespoon of the jicama slaw top with the bun and serve immediately.
