These were yummy. DH isnt a big fan of olives, but I love olives and thought these were great. Made for ZWT 8 for The Fearless. -
These were really good! I whipped up some homemade pesto to use. I also used some pesto on the buns. Used pepper jack cheese too. Menfolk loved them! -
Fantastic burgers! We love pesto and it really made these burgers moist and delicious. We will definitely have these again. I did not add the olives, but will try them next time. Made for the AUS/NZ Make My Recipe Tag, October, 2011. -
This is a great burger. I used black olives. And I forgot to add the water. But they were perfect. Thanks katew :) Made for the Australian recipe swap for April 2011 -
What a totally unique tasting burger! I grilled mine outside on the grill....don't have a grill pan! Served it without bread because I have elimated bread right now due to a diet, and used ground sirloin to cut the fat content. These are full of flavor! I didn't add the water because with the sirloin the mix was already a little watery. These are very salty with the olives and pesto, so you don't need to add any more. This was a really great tasting burger...just not the traditional one! I can totally picture this served up in a pita with some wonderful tzatziki sauce and shredded lettuce. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe.
