These Mediterranean-inspired chicken patties are a light contrast to your beef burgers and complement any backyard get-together. If you use all-breast meat, add some olive oil to the meat mixture so they don't dry out. You could also use 2 tablespoons chopped Kalamata olives instead of the tapenade. Use tzatziki sauce on top to stay with the Mediterranean flavors or use a sesame dressing with shredded lettuce for an Asian taste.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground chicken
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon Kalamata-olive tapenade
- 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 1.5 tablespoons crushed garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.13 tablespoons coarse-ground black pepper

Cook patties until charred on bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the burgers and finish cooking, refraining from flattening with your spatula until no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes more. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels before serving.

Essene Bread
Essene bread is made with sprouted wheat berries. This is a very old recipe — said to have been created in biblical days. It takes days to make, but your efforts and time will be rewarded with a couple of protein-rich, sweet, and moist loaves of bread. Traditionally, Essene bread was probably baked on hot rocks under scorching sunlight, but where I and most of us live, this is not possible. Baking at the oven temperatures which I suggest might destroy the sprout enzymes, but monitoring baking loaves for much longer than 2 hours is too long for me. Guaranteeing the preservation of the enzymes might require baking at a very low temperature for perhaps 4 hours. If you have the stamina, then go for it.
Simple Banana Bread
I developed this banana bread recipe without baking soda because I had limited ingredients and wanted a bread recipe, not cake-like, while living in a 10-foot trailer. This recipe is also low in fat.
Best Christmas Fruitcake
This fruitcake is a deliciously moist cake full of rum-soaked dried fruit and nuts. There's no glowing, candied fruit in this recipe, and it's more cake-like than traditional fruitcake recipes. It's easy to make and sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
