Burgers!
There’s just something about them that make people smile. But burgers don’t just have to be a slab of meat on a bun. When I make mine, I like to grab some spices from the spice drawer and have the kids cut a handful of fresh herbs from our garden in order to come up with a mixture that will really jazz things up.
By incorporating some curry, garlic powder, fresh parsley and mint into the ground chicken and sauce, you give the ordinary burger a huge burst of unforgettable flavors. The best part is that you don’t need to wait for your summertime grill to enjoy these burgers. They’re beyond easy to make in a sauté pan any time of year.

Middle Eastern Chicken Burgers (Serves 4)

2 Persian Cucumbers, peeled, grated & strained
Pinch of Salt
Accompaniments: Tomatoes and/or Lettuce
1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and sauté onions for 4 minutes until tender and set aside to cool.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions, ground chicken, salt, parsley, garlic and curry powder. Evenly divide mixture and shape into flour patties.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt, mint, cucumber and salt to make the sauce.
