Such a warm, slight heat with a rich depth of amazing flavors! Killer twist on the average burger. Melted shine gruyere on top and spread some harissa mayo on the bun! 5 stars!!!!!

Very nice change from beef or turkey burgers. Lots of flavor with a bite! Really liked the fennel seeds. I topped them with recipe #196257 to balance the spiciness. Made for Fall 2011 PAC game.
