I was really looking forward to this dish, and to my surprise, I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would. We didn't exactly have these as written (no buns), so most of the "Remaining Ingredients" segment was left out. I did, however, marinate some thinly sliced onion in the remaining marinade and grilled them ever so briefly. The marinade flavor was very subtle, but enjoyable. If my baby daughter wasn't eating them, I would probably add more red pepper flakes. Without a doubt, I will be making this again. Thanks so much!
