Mediterranean Burger with Mint Yogurt Sauce

Method

1. 1

   Preheat your grill.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl combine the beef, pine nuts, red pepper, red onion, egg, olive oil, salt, pepper, cinnamon, cumin and chopped parsley and mix with hands until everything is combined. Shape the ground beef mixture into 2 inch patties {about 1/4 cup of meat per slider which makes 8 sliders} or 4 larger burgers.

3. 3

   Place the sliders on the grill and let cook for 4-5 minutes, flip them over, and cook for 4-5 more minutes or until they reach your desired doneness. We cook ours to medium-rare which is an internal temperature of 130-135 F.

4. 4

   While the sliders are cooking make the mint yogurt sauce: in a medium bowl mix together the yogurt, cucumber and mint. Set aside.

5. 5

   Once the sliders are done grilling place them in a pita pocket with a slice of tomatoes, red onion and lettuce along with a drizzle of mint yogurt sauce.
