hen the weather warms up, grills fire up. For a twist on an American staple, the hamburger, dive into the Mediterranean for inspiration. Instead of a runof-the-mill beef patty, try a blend of ground lamb and ground beef with flavorful spices to create a fusion of the two – lulu. Of course, any tasty burger doesn’t depend solely on the meat in between the buns, the fusion of Mediterranean and American ingredients creates the perfect combination for mouthwatering flavor. Adding a salad to any meal is a great way to cool off this summer, but for another Mediterranean twist, try parsley and lemon juice to refresh your tastebuds with a tabouleh salad.
