Instructions

To make the chutney: Place a heavy, heatproof skillet on the grill over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan to heat, then add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the onions are soft. Add the spices and salt to the pan and cook for another minute or so. Next, add the tomatoes, vinegar and brown sugar to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. or until the tomatoes fall apart, and any extra liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool.

Place the ground beef in a large bowl and sprinkle with the garam masala, garlic and salt. Mix together thoroughly with your hands, then shape into 6 patties. Grill over medium heat until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the burgers to a plate and cover with Reynold’s Wrap Aluminum Foil. Place the buns inside down on the grill and toast lightly for about 2 to 3 minutes.

To assemble: Spread 1 oz. of the goat cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Place 4 spinach leaves on top of the goat cheese, and top each with a burger patty. Follow with a thick layer of mango slices, two slices of red onion, and 2 Tablespoons of the tomato chutney. Put on the top bun and you are ready to go!
