Spaghetti, linguini, all those stringy pastas always satisfied the hunger especially after 3 hours of playing under the sun and running silly.

1/2 tsp garlic
1 tsp crushed red pepper (rp)
2/3 tsp black pepper (bp)
1 tsp salt ( taste and more)

1/3 cup warm water

Procedure:

Ingredients:
Ground beef 500g (regular)
Green onions 3 roots
Red onion 1 medium
Garlic 1 tsp
Pepper medley 1 tbsp
Paprika 1tsp
Cajun spice 1tspn
Salt 1 tspn ( hasbe zaiqa, according to your taste.
Cilantro 1/2 cup

Prep:
Chop green, red onions, cilantro and garlic and add that to the beef. Add spices and soya sauce and mix it all up. Make medium size patties and grill them medium high for 10 mins on each side.




























































This lunch reminded me of mama's burgers in Sharjah Alain, English night at Peshawar mess, shami kabob sandwiches in Mianwali, barbecue at Richmond park with lays chips.
I hope when you make these, it also remind you of a family time back in the day or create a new memory of a warm relaxing day with Gringo Burgers.
