Cooking time:  25 minutes for menu      Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

            Summer is Burger Season!  We normally don't bother with buns - unnecessary calories in plain white bread... Which we can't get here ;-))  I do try to make a variety of burgers over the season.  Substitute ground turkey if you like.

Spicy Barbecued Burgers

Total time: 20 minutes
        Slightly spicy burgers, topped with a ketchup based sauce.  Serve with or without buns, pickles and onions. They have enough flavor to stand alone.  If cooking on the barbecue grill, a grill basket or mat makes it easier.

     Barley is a healthy alternative to rice.  With the feta, shallots and olives, this is a flavorful side dish.
