Ingredients
500 g ground beef, preferably chuck
500 g ground veal
500 g ground pork, preferably neck or jowl
1 tbsp SIDS HOT WORCESTER SAUCE
½ cup finely chopped onions plus minced onions, for serving
2 tsp SIDS SALT & PEPPER
¼ cup sparkling water
6 pita breads, warmed or toasted
Whipped cream cheese
Red pepper-eggplant ajvar (see recipe)
Directions
In a large bowl, place meats, ½ cup chopped onions, SIDS SALT & PEPPER and sparkling water. Using your hands, lightly combine ingredients with SIDS HOT WORCESTER SAUCE. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
Divide mixture into 6 equal balls. Place one ball between two sheets of plastic wrap and use the heel of your hand to pound it to a thin patty, about 6 mm thick and 150 mm in diameter. Repeat with remaining meat then refrigerate patties about 1 hour.
Heat a grill or heavy frypan to very hot. Cook patties, turning often, until well browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Cut pita breads in half horizontally, and serve burgers between pieces of pita. Sprinkle with onions and spread with kajmak and ajvar as desired.
