Instructions

Directions:

Peel, seed and chop cucumber (1/8 inch, doesn’t have to be perfect).
Place a piece of cheesecloth (12 inch by 12 inch) on a large plate.
Spread cucumber evenly over cheesecloth.
Sprinkle the 1 teaspoon of sea salt evenly over cucumber.
Let set for twenty minutes. This will draw out excess moisture.

When cucumber has set for twenty minutes, bring up sides of cheesecloth, form into
a ball and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Stir cucumber into tzatziki mix.

Thoroughly fold tzatziki mix in the slaw.
Cover and place in refrigerator for two hours.

Gently form meat into six equal patties of 3/4 inch thickness.
Place burgers on a large platter, cover and place in refrigerator.

Dice Vidalia onion and place in a medium mixing bowl.
Spoon in guava jelly and sriracha sauce. Thoroughly mix.
Cover and set aside.

Brush grill grate with vegetable oil.
Place burgers on grate over direct heat.
Grill for five minutes. Flip burgers and grill an additional four minutes.
After three minutes, place a slice of havarti cheese on each burger.
When done, remove burgers to a platter. Tent loosely with foil. Do not touch cheese.
