Pljekavica
Our celebrated Bosnian style burger, being voted the best burger in Queens For past few years by the "Village Voice," grilled to perfection ...... $8.00

Well, it's not exactly a burger ... it's more of a thin nicely spiced sausage patty of lamb and beef. The sausage disk is about 8 inches across and is cooked on a gas fired grill. There are satisfying spurts of flame as the grease from the lamb hits the open flame.
It's served on a puffy Bosnian pita that's been nicely warmed. It can be ordered with a yoghurt based sauce but I prefer it with diced onions and Ajvar, the red sauce of Marshall Tito.
At first glance the finished product looks like a personal pizza but it's much better than that. The spicing is the same as the Bosnian cevapi sausage links and doesn't need much doctoring. I put on the barest sprinkling of salt and if I'm feeling frisky I add some red pepper flakes.
The burger at Bosna Express relies on it's spicing and the blend of beef and lamb rather than sheer size. It's only about 8 oz. It would never replace a regular burger but it's a wonderful change of pace. When Pat LaFrieda starts making these they'll go for $30. In the meantime you can buy one for $8.00 in Queens. read more
