  2. 2
    Chill the mixture 15 minutes.
    Refrigerator
  3. 3

    Heat a grill to high heat.
    Charcoal grillorGas grill
  2. 5
    Grill the burgers 3–4 minutes per side, until they are browned outside and done to your liking.
    Tongs
    💡Don't press the meat or flip it more than once: the juices run out and the meat dries out. It releases from the grate once the underside is browned.
  3. 6
    Halve the gluten-free bread and toast them On the grill.
    Knife
  4. 7
    Grind the sesame seeds in a powerful blender about 3 minutes, until smooth paste forms.
    Blender
    💡At first the sesame looks like dry crumbs: keep grinding, scraping down the sides, and after a few minutes it releases its oil and turns liquid.
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
  5. 8
    Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  6. 9
    Spread the tahini on the gluten-free bread.
  7. 10
    Arrange the lettuce and tomatoes in each gluten-free bread, and top with a hot patty. Serve with Israeli salad.
