Bring the flavors of Morocco to your burger recipe. It’s a tasty twist on your classic burger. I added warm and savory spices — cinnamon, cumin and turmeric and lots of fresh mint — to ground meat for a unique blend of flavors.
A secret to getting a caramelized surface and keeping the burgers together is to add them to a hot skillet without turning or moving them for 5 minutes, then flipping them over.
HELPFUL HINTS:
Make sure your spices are less than 6 months old. Add a date you buy the spice to the jar so that you know when it’s beyond its peak of flavor.
Any type of reduced fat salad dressing can be used.
COUNTDOWN:
Mix ingredients into beef and start cooking them.
Make yogurt sauce.
Make cucumber slices and tomatoes.
Toast hamburger rolls and finish the burgers.
