Middle Eastern Burger

These burgers are a nice change for summer grilling and you can use ground lamb or beef. I used the same recipe as the Baharat Meatballs, but made them flatter so they fit on naan bread. Baharat is a wonderful mixture of coriander, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, cumin, cardamom, and nutmeg. It is easy to mix yourself, or you might be able to find it at specialty food stores. You can use whole spices and grind them yourself, but it’s one less step to use ground spices if you don’t have the time. I made a quick salad mixture of cherry tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, onions, feta cheese and garlic with a red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing. Grill some naan bread and cut it in half and place the burger on one half and add some of the salad, drizzle with tahini if you have some, and top with the other piece of naan bread. Delicious!  Click here for the recipe….
