SERBIAN PLJESKAVICA (HAMBURGERS)
Pljeskavica (PLYESS-kah-vee-tsah) are Serbian hamburgers popular in one form or another throughout the Balkans. The name for these meat patties comes from pljesak, a word meaning "to clap the hands," the motion used to form these thin, large burgers. They can be made with any combination of pork, lamb and beef and can be grilled,...

Steps:
- 1. Mix together all ingredients until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate for several hours for flavors to meld and mixture to firm.
- 2. Heat grill. Using slightly dampened hands, divide meat mixture into 6 portions. Form into thin patties, 9 inches by 1/2 inch or about the size of a small dinner plate.
- 3. Grill, broil or pan fry pljeskavica about 7 minutes per side. Indoor grills work well, too. Serve with green onions or chopped raw onion, tomatoes, pogacha and Serbian potato salad or cole slaw on the side. Some Serbs place the patty on a large bun like an American hamburger.
BALKAN BURGERS
These burgers are called Pljeskavica in Albania. It literally means 'to clap your hands' which describes how the patties are made. They can be grilled or fried and served on crusty rolls or in pita pockets. Traditionally they are served by spreading ajvar and kajmak on them and adding onions and pickles.
