1.       Cook half of the onion with ¼ tsp salt and oil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 to 7 minutes.

4.       Pulse bulgur mixture, walnuts, 1 tbsp True Lime Garlic and Cilantro spice blend, cumin, cayenne pepper, a rounded ¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper and remaining onion in a food processor until finely chopped.

6.       While patties chill, stir together mayonnaise and 1 tbsp True Lime, Garlic and Cilantro spice blend. (Add more for extra flavor if desired.)
7.       If cooking patties on the stove, heat 1 tbsp oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers, then fry each patty, carefully turning once until golden brown.  (About 8 minutes.)
8.       If grilling patties, prepare grill for medium heat. Put perforated grill sheet on grill and preheat for 10 minutes. Brush patties with oil and oil grill sheet. Grill burgers, carefully turning once until golden brown. (About 8 minutes.)
