At home we call these "super burgers." This is an amazing burger recipe. I don't agree that a binding agent is needed, and they're no hassle. You can substitute the fresh cilantro for dried, and snip the apricots coarsly with kitchen scissors. The ketchup is important to the recipe. We actually make a double batch. These are the best and definitely a recipe worth trying!

This recipe rates a 5 for flavor but a 3 for omitting any binder, which I found it badly needed. I added fresh breadcrumbs soaked in milk and squeezed out and didn't have the dried apricots to add. It was very tasty and I'll make this ketchup for other dishes as well. It was NO hassle at all, as the previous reviwer had suggested; I have a real issue with people who leave ratings for food they haven't even made!!
