Spices for the burger meat

It's not just the sauce that makes a burger taste perfect, the spices also play a part. Here are our favorites:

• Salt and pepper, preferably freshly ground for even more flavor
• Paprika powder and chili bring spiciness to the meat
• Herbs such as thyme, rosemary, basil or oregano go perfectly with beef. Always use dried herbs, as fresh herbs can burn quickly when grilling the meat
• Burgers get more oomph when they are seasoned with atypical spices such as crushed coriander seeds
• By the way, brown sugar also goes perfectly with burger meat
