Steps:
- In a large bowl, place meats, 1/2 cup chopped onions, salt, pepper and sparkling water. Using your hands, lightly combine ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Divide mixture into six equal balls. Place one ball between two sheets of plastic wrap and use the heel of your hand to pound it to a thin patty, about 1/4-inch thick and 6 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining meat; refrigerate patties about 1 hour.
- Heat a grill or heavy skillet to very hot. Cook patties, turning often, until well browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Cut pita breads in half horizontally, and serve burgers between pieces of pita. Sprinkle with onions and spread with kajmak and ajvar as desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your burger.
- Grind your own beef. This will give you the freshest, most flavorful burger possible.
- Season the beef well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Form the burgers into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook the burgers over medium-high heat. This will give them a nice crust on the outside and keep them juicy on the inside.
- Don't overcook the burgers. A medium-rare burger is ideal.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
