The Asian Burger

Add toasted sesame seeds, fresh coriander and a dash of hoisin sauce (a sweetish Chinese cooking sauce made from soybeans, garlic, sugar and spices) to your meat. Replace tomatoes with sliced, grilled mushrooms.

The Mexican Burger

Add onions, corn, dry mustard, chili powder or chopped hot pepper and some breadcrumbs to your meat. Replace condiments with salsa or guacamole and top with grated cheese.

The Greek Burger

Add garlic, fresh dill, fresh mint and chopped olives to your meat. Use feta cheese instead of a processed cheese slice and top with a little tzatziki.

Although hamburgers are traditionally ground beef, ground pork, lamb, chicken or turkey also make great burgers. For extra variety, replace....

• plain hamburger buns with onion, cheese, sesame seed or whole grain buns, etc.
  
  
• tomatoes with grilled red, green or yellow sweet peppers, dried tomatoes, fresh or grilled mushrooms, grilled cucumber or zucchini slices. Add some apple slices for a delicious, refreshing change of pace.
  
  
• the traditional processed cheese slice with mozzarella, brie, Monterey Jack, etc. or try a blue cheese such as Bénédictin for a more robust flavour.
  
  
• lettuce with fresh herbs such as basil, mint and coriander.
  
  
• condiments with chutneys or fruit ketchup.
