Harissa Burger

A simple burger becomes a flavor superstar with layers of bold flavor. Season the burger patty with harissa to give the impression of a lamb burger (it's a beef patty!) and top with harissa aioli and tangy quick pickles.  This recipe features our new Global Blends Harissa Seasoning.
