DedeMed's Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Spices Review

I was able to make a delicious meal to try the Seven Spice sent to me.  I had never even heard of this spice so I had no idea where to begin making it and where to find the ingredients.  Because I was short on time I couldn't search to the specialty stores to find some ingredients a recipe called for.  Well, I went onto the website which is just amazing because not only does she give you tons of Mediterranean recipes, but she includes a video on how to make it.  Since I could not find  a couple of the ingredients this recipe called for, I had to do without. You'll be able to tell by my picture.  Here is the recipe I would be trying from her site.  I'll include my own pictures of it.

Dede's Mediterranean Kefta Burger Recipe

Serves: 4-6
Difficulty: easy
Prep and Cook time: 20 minutes

Flat leaf parsley

Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef (or any meat you like)
1 cup flat leaf parsley (Store did not offer flat leaf which has a stronger taste so I had to use the curly parsley)
1 cup onion
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp 7 spices
Burger buns
Kabees and tomatoes for garnish (I had to do without the Kabees also)

Tahini Mayonnaise Sauce

3/4 cup mayonnaise

1 clove minced garlic
1 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs tahini paste 
1/4 tsp paprika (optional)

Onion Parsley Garnish

1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
1/2 cup sliced onion
1 tbs sumac (Could not get Sumac either)
1/2 tsp salt

In a food processor blend the onion and parsley until well blended, then add the ground meat, salt and 7 spices and blend until well combined.  

Form meat into 4 or 6 burgers and cook on grill or in a pan for 7-8 minutes.  

For the tahini mayonnaise sauce in a bowl combine the mayonnaise, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and paprika and set aside for topping. 

For onion parsley garnish in a bowl combine the onions, parsley, salt and sumac.  To assemble the burgers, toast the buns and top both sides with tahini mayonnaise, add burger and top with onion/parsley then top with the other bun. Serve with kabeese and tomatoes.

Remember, I had to use regular parsley instead of flat leaf,

didn't have the Sumac needed for the garnish on top and

didn't use Kabees with tomatoes.
