Hey everyone, I thought it would be cool to post
some recipes I had found online. I’m going to *try* to do some of these
beforehand, but I’m sure there’ll be times I won't. I'm going to call this
Finicky Friday. :)

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon canola oil, plus more
for the grill
4 cups cut-up seedless watermelon (about 1 pound)
½ English cucumber, halved lengthwise and sliced
¼ cup torn fresh mint
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
kosher salt and black pepper
¼ cup ketchup
2 to 3 tablespoons Sriracha or Asian chili-garlic
sauce
1 medium onion, cut into 4 slices
1½ pounds ground pork
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, chopped
4 hamburger buns
lettuce, for serving
DIRECTIONS
Heat grill to medium-high. Once it is hot, clean the
grill grate with a wire brush. Just before grilling, oil the grill grate.
Toss the watermelon, cucumber, mint, lime juice, 1
tablespoon of the oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
Mix together the ketchup and 1 tablespoon of the
Sriracha in a small bow.
Rub the onion with the remaining teaspoon of oil.
Gently mix together the pork, soy sauce, garlic, and
the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of Sriracha with your hands in a large bowl
until just combined. Form the mixture into four ½-inch-thick patties.
Grill the onion until 4 to 6 minutes per side for
medium. Grill the burgers until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer
inserted in the center registers 145° F, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
Stack the ketchup mixture, lettuce, burgers, and
onions between the buns. Serve with the watermelon salad.
