Moroccan Beef Burger.

Here’s a way to spice up your Memorial Day burgers using Moroccan-style spices. Ground cumin, ground cinnamon, fresh mint and parsley may seem unusual additions to burgers, but they add an intriguing flavor to them.

Ground spices can lose they’re flavor after a few months. If yours look grey or have lost their aroma, it’s time for new ones.
