Description
This Serbian burger will make you forget about all those other burgers from fast food chain places from the very first bite!
Ingredients
- FOR THE MEAT PATTIES:
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 pound Ground Pork
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sweet Paprika
- ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
- ½ cups Sparkling Water
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Medium Onions, Finely Chopped
- Vegetable Oil, For Frying
- FOR ASSEMBLING THE BURGERS:
- 4 Pita Bread Pockets
- Ajvar And Kajmak Sauces, To Taste
- Onions
- Pickles
Preparation
Mix meat, salt, paprika, pepper, and water in a bowl with your hands. Brush some olive oil over the surface of the mixture. This easy trick will help retain moisture. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in a fridge for at least few hours. Overnight is even better.
Add onions to the mixture and mix to combine. Divide the mixture to 4 equal balls and pound them to 6- to 7-inch patties with your hands.
Fry or grill the patties until done. I did about 3–4 minutes per side. Assemble the burgers by spreading the sauces inside the pita pockets, adding the meat patties, and topping with onions and pickles.
