I know store bought burger patties are a real time saver and last minute meal options…but have you ever thought of flavoring them arabic style??? I did just that to one range of burgers which ROLER SPAIN sent to me to try out. Their products are topnotch and excellent the way they are but sometimes its nice to give a different flavor to things. I made these mini pita canapes in a jiffy and they tasted sooo exotic!! You can also make them with ordinary minced meat (either chicken, lamb or beef) but i used ROLER burger patties to do so…I served them with a spicy yogurt sauce (video on cooking with nitu on youtube) and an instant arab style fatoosh salad!!
INGREDIENTS:
2 burger patties
a tablespoon of finely chopped parsley
a tablespoon of finely chopped mint leaves
a tablespoon of finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon of grated ginger
a big pinch of cumin powder
a big pinch of ground cinnamon
a big pinch of ground black pepper
METHOD:
break up the burger patty and add all the ingredients and mix well. Leave for a while for all the flavors to fuse with each other well while you make the salad. Shap into tiny balls and flatten to make a patty. Grill in a hot pan till browned and cooked well from within. Serve in any way you like…i just cut small rounds of pita bread and placed the mini burgers between and topped them with yogurt sauce and served it with fatoosh salad. Both yogurt sauce and salad recipes are on my blog….
THANK YOU SOO MUCH ROLER SPAIN FOR SUCH AN EXCELLENT QUALITY OF BURGER PATTY!!
