Balkan Burgers image

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.
