    We had these again this evening and they are delicious- so good I wanted to share another review for people looking for inspiration! Last time the burgers weren't cooked enough for me so this time I made 8 small burgers that cooked quickly and fit into a pita half better. We cooked them 3 minutes per side and used a thermometer to ensure they were cooked enough. We ate this with Greek salad, which was a great pairing. I can't wait to have these again!

    This was delicious! I thought the burgers were too under cooked following the directions and would probably add a minute per side (so four minutes per side).

    We did these on the grill, and we really liked them. The harissa mayo is the best!

    Wow! These were SO good. I intended to halve the recipe for just the two of us, but had a mental lapse and used the full amount of all spices called for. Luckily, I realized my error before I had mixed in the salt or onions, so I was able to halve those ingredients. We actually thought these burgers had a perfect intensity of flavor, so next time, I'd use double the spices again! We had these on normal buns rather than pita, and topped them with the harissa mayo (do not skip the mayo), and thinly sliced cucumbers. I envision a grated carrot slaw being really good atop this burger. There will be a definite next time for this easy, flavor-packed recipe.

    Very flavorful and an excellent weeknight meal. I loved the harissa mayo. I used ground turkey.

  • westminstr on April 02, 2014

    What can I say, these were great. The whole family enjoyed them. I cooked them on a cast iron skillet and served as recommended.

    Very easy, very tasty. The mayo really is the finishing touch (I used sambal instead of harissa).

  • amraub on April 05, 2012

    Quick, easy, and full of flavor. Loved the mayo. Served without the bun.

    This made for a quick, after-work meal. We really liked the full-flavored and moist burger.
