To make it different, just like I do and almost never the same patty, you could also: • have a combination of beef and pork (60:40), beef and lamb (50:50), use ground chicken, ground turkey or even fish or tofu. • add, grated onion (shallots or red onion) • add a healthy dose of minced or grated garlic, • use some turmeric or even ginger (particularly good with fish), • add some freshly chopped herbs (parsley, thyme, mint, tarragon, sage, coriander) • add spices (ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, Italian herbs) Spice it up, go wild! The actual burger patty is very important to be well seasoned and to have good flavours but the topping is as important. It is what will define your burger and adds to both texture and flavour.
