Wow. These were fabulous! A combination of flavors I never could have imagined. Thank good for the Zarr World Tour, or I might never have found this! Made just as written. I had some trouble getting the patties to stay together. We didn't mind, they tasted amazing. Thanks for sharing!

This recipe is fab, the flavours meld together just beautifully. The pattie has a soft texture and is nice on it's own but once you add the yogurt, onions and fetta WOW!! Thanks for sharing!
