SUNNY'S MAUI LUAU BURGER
Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the pork, parsley, salt, garlic, 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce and some pepper. Gently mix, then separate into 4 balls and rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- In a shallow dish, add the pineapple rings in one layer, then on each ring, add 4 slices of onion. Brush the tops with the remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Pour beer in the side of the dish up to the level of the pineapple. Rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Heat an outdoor grill to medium high for direct and indirect heat (to cook on a griddle, see Cook's Note). Press the burgers into patties slightly larger than the buns. Place the burgers over the direct heat and cook on one side for 6 to 8 minutes. Flip to the indirect heat side of the grill and cook until the internal temperature reads 155 degrees F. Remove from the grill and lightly tent the burgers with loose-fitting aluminum foil for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, shake the excess marinade off the pineapples and onions. Grill the pineapple rings on one side until charred and easily released to be flipped; grill on the other side until grill marked. Using a grill pan, cook the onions until tender and charred, about 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Brush the outside of the buns with the butter and place them on the grill buttered-side down. Grill until toasted but still shiny, 1 to 2 minutes. Build each burger starting with a bottom bun, a patty, a pineapple ring, some onions, a handful of plantain chips and a top bun.

FRESH TUNA BURGERS WITH RED ONION SALSA
I have added wasabi, which is japanese horseradish, to these burgers because it gives them a wonderful kick. You wasabi in the asian sections of a supermarket, but if you can not get a hold of it a dab of english mustard will do.

Tips:
- Use a variety of tuna: For a more flavorful burger, use a combination of light and dark tuna. This will give the burger a richer flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the tuna mixture: Overmixing the tuna mixture will make the burgers tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the burgers immediately: Tuna burgers are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them on buns, with your favorite toppings, or even over a salad.
Conclusion:
These Hawaiian tuna burgers are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a healthy meal. They are made with simple ingredients and are packed with flavor. The Maui Wowee salsa is the perfect complement to the tuna burgers, and it adds a sweet and tangy flavor. These burgers are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
