Cyprian Style Burger recipe

My plans for dinner tonight were cast to the wind as the day got longer and the chores kept piling up. In my mind, I was going to sauté beef with onions and parsley add some spices and rice and stuff grape leaves, you know, they call them Dolmades. 

So now I'm looking at that beef and he's looking at me and I say burgers, in my head I say burgers. 

In my home, this exact burger has never been done, so hear we go.

Cyprian Style Burgers

Ingredients

1 lb of ground beef (pork would have been better)

3/4 of a can diced tomatoes (well drained)

1-2 tbl chopped parsley 

1-2 tbl chopped onion

1 tbl lemon juice 

salt and pepper

1/4 tsp cinnamon (I know it seems weird but try it)

Mint 1 tsp chopped 

1/4 lb Feta cheese for the crumbled top

Ok, from here it's easy. Mix it, grill it, add the cheese and let it melt. Serve it on a bun. 

Note-This burger is meant to be cooked through completely and not eaten rare. The parsley and onions get cooked through and the tomatoes impart their flavor as well as the lemon .

I'll show you some pics but don't judge the no bun situation. I'm not eating traditional buns anymore unless I can find them organic. 

This was so juicy, packed with flavor and delicious. It was a nice change from the traditional day to day recipes we all get used to in our lives. Suddenly, these last minute burgers felt special. I would make these burgers for a dinner party. Serve it with a big salad and fries. Go ahead and make a homemade hummus crudité as a starter. 

That's a party!!

With love and gratitude
