Portion: Serves 8

Ingredients
Burgers
1 small red onion
4 cloves garlic
4 eggs
2 lb ground beef
2 tsp dried Italian herbs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
Yogurt Sauce
1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 or 2 tsp chili-garlic sauce

Procedures
Finely chop onion. Mince garlic. In a medium-size bowl, whisk eggs. Add meat. Sprinkle with onion, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Using your hand, mix just until blended. Overworking the meat will result in tough burgers.

You can also place burger under a broiler. Set rack at the top third of the oven. Place burgers on a roasting rack set on top of a tray. Broil until done, turning once.
In a small bowl, stir yogurt with cilantro, lime juice, lime zest and chili-garlic sauce. Spoon sauce overtop burgers. Serve with buns or English muffin.
