Times staff writer Rose Dosti's mother adapted Albanian flavor preferences to American hamburger with these results.

Combine beef, garlic, egg, bread, onion, salt, pepper and mint.

Shape into 4 oblong patties and fry 8 to 10 minutes on each side in lightly greased skillet. Serve on hot plates and garnish with additional mint leaves, if desired.
