Turned out great considering i mistakingly left out the egg. DH said he had felt like eating this for a long time. We served this with falafel, tabouli, fried eggplants, and shoestring fries. Great thing about it is it took almost no time at all. These could be put onto skewers and BBQ'ed too. Thanks for posting!

My DH and I loved the flavor of these burgers. The addition of the pine nuts added great texture. I followed the recipe exactly and was very happy with the results. Thank you candygirl!

Excellent recipe. Love all the flavour combinations especially the crunch of the pine nuts. I wasn't sure if I should pre-toast the pine nuts or not but I did, in a hot fry pan, before adding to the ground beef mix. Served as suggested with hummus recipe #91710, sour cream and chilli oil. Thanks for posting!

These are truly tasty. My husband made them and followed the recipe exactly. The touch of cinnamon makes them distinct... We will definitely have them again.
