Tip

Pine Nuts

Also know as pignolia or pinon, the pine nut is the small seed from one of several pine tree varieties. They are small elongated ivory-colored nuts measuring about 3/8 inch long and having a soft texture and a buttery flavor. Frequently used in Italian dishes and sauces such as pesto, pine nuts are often toasted to enhance their flavor.

Full-Bodied Red Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a full-bodied red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah.

One of the best burger recipes I've tried in a long time. My son even loves it. You can throw this together most days with stuff you have in the fridge. It's wonderful! Not sure if it would work well on the grill or not. The burgers sometimes act like they want to come apart. But made on the Foreman grill, they are great.
