Ingredients

• Ground halal beef - 400 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Italian seasoning - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Buns - 2 whole grain or ciabatta
• Arugula - 50 grams
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Fresh parsley - 30 grams
• Fresh basil - 30 grams
• Capers - 1 tablespoon, rinsed
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Pine nuts - 1 tablespoon, toasted

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground halal beef, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined and form into two patties.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the burger patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
3. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the salsa verde. In a food processor, combine the parsley, basil, capers, lemon juice, and remaining olive oil. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning if necessary.
4. Toast the buns lightly in the same skillet after the burgers are done. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun, topping with arugula, tomato slices, and red onion. Drizzle generously with salsa verde before closing the bun.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your Burgers con Salsa Verde.
