"What a cool burger! This is a real twist from what we are used to in North America! The beets and the capers add an awesome taste. You can enjoy this on its own or use a bun. I got this from the internet. Enjoy!"

I expected to taste the beets more, and may have if I had cooked them under the broiler. I did taste the capers. I cooked my burgers on a charcoal grill, and loved the flavors. I think the smoke flavor may have overwhelmed my beets though! Made for the Smok'in Chefs in CQ 2017.

The pickled beets give a very interesting flavour. The addition of potatoes makes this a very hearty meal.
