Expert Tips

To broil patties, place on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning once.

Hummus is a thick sauce made from garbanzo beans mashed with garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Tahini, or sesame seed paste, is often added and the resulting sauce is called hummus bi tahina. Very popular in the Middle East, hummus is served as a dip with pita bread. Check near the dips in the dairy case of the grocery store for a variety of hummus flavors.

Try these burgers on sesame seed buns.

Feta, a Greek cheese made from sheep or goat's milk would give these burgers a tangy boost of traditional flavor. Crumble feta cheese and spoon 1 tablespoon inside each pita half.
