As the end of warm weather and backyard BBQs nears, I’m always on the look-out for a twist on everyday burgers and dogs. This delicious recipe from Food & Wine was spot on. The cumin and North African Harissa infused hamburgers topped with spicy sauce, sweet pan fried onions and cool cucumbers and tomatoes,  all came together just perfectly.

Cumin-Spiced Burgers with Harissa Mayo
Adapted from Food & Wine
Serves: 8
Couch to table in: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
3 pounds ground chuck
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons harissa
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 large red onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Eight 6-inch oval rolls, split
1 cup mayonnaise
Tomato and cucumber slices
Preparation:
  1. In a large bowl, gently mix the beef with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of the harissa, the cumin, garlic and thyme. Form the meat into eight 3/4-inch-thick oval patties.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the onion slices with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a grill pan. Cook the onions over moderate heat, turning once, until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Grill the burgers over Medium-High heat, turning once, until medium, about 8 minutes. Grill the rolls until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the remaining 2 tablespoons of harissa; season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the mayo on the rolls. Top with the patties, onions, tomato and cucumber; close the sandwiches and serve.
