Chef tips
To make the burger extra juicy, squeeze all the liquid out of the grated onion before adding it to the meat. Mix the mixture gently with wet hands to ensure a light, airy texture that isn't dense. Try serving this in a fresh pita with green tahini and a chopped vegetable salad. For kids who prefer milder flavors, swap the cilantro for parsley and add a pinch of cinnamon for a wonderful aroma.
