Hamburgers Siciliano

Submitted by dicentra

"Posting for ZWT3. This is from George Foreman’s grilling cookbook. “Olives, capers and anchovies find their way into many Sicilian dishes. The interior surprise of these zesty, sunny island flavors would have mad Garibaldi sing. Serve these burgers on a crusty, partially hollowed-out roll with a slice of summer ripe tomato.”"
