Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the broiler. Lightly spray a broiler pan and rack with cooking spray.

    In a medium bowl, using your hands or a spoon, combine the ingredients for the patties. Shape into 4 patties. Put the patties on the rack in the pan.

  2. Cook’s Tip on Allspice

    Step 4

    The berry of the evergreen pimiento tree and native to the West Indies and South America, allspice is so named because it tastes like a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Use allspice for a piquant flavor in foods from soups, stews, and meats to cakes and fruit dishes.
