Burgers with Harissa, Feta, and Salad
These burgers are full of flavor thanks to the addition of a few umami-packed ingredients like feta and Worcestershire sauce along with garlic and onion. Gelatin and diced mushrooms help them stay juicy and tender with a beautiful pan sear. Serve them atop a bed of mixed greens, tomatoes, mushrooms and onions with a drizzle of pepper sauce.
