My husband and I used to have a slight obsession with the Park Tavern's Mediterranean burger, theirs has sour cream and other ingredients, but we decided to try and make our own version and it turned out great! I know we didn't have as many ingredients as they put on theirs, but I must say it was tasty! Normally we will take the ingredients and put them in the food processor with the ground beef and make it all blended together, but we had burger patties from Omaha Steaks, thanks Patti, so we decided to try it this way, I must say, I really liked it. Unlike our other attempts, the burger stayed in one piece and the same bold flavor was there. We ran out of banana peppers, otherwise I would have put more on top for extra flavor. I also made a greek salad to accompany our burger, you can never go wrong with a greek salad. I know the ingredients, but always end up trying a different recipe for the dressing and found this recipe at Janet is Hungry's blog, I enjoyed her recipe for the dressing, it was delicious!
