Roquefort Cheeseburger

Serves: to make 6 burgers

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 10 Minutes

Ready In: 20 mins

Ingredients

1¼ lb - lean minced beef (ground beef)

1 - onion

1½ tablespoons - fresh oregano

2 teaspoons - ground paprika

2 teaspoons - fresh coriander

2 teaspoons - freshly ground black pepper

  large pinch - sea salt

about 4 slices - white bread

1 - egg

4 oz - Roquefort cheese

Directions

1. Using the chopping part of a food processor, purée the onion (I actually use a small baby's food processor for stuff like this) then remove the onion from the mixer and place it into a large mixing bowl.
2. Place the oregano, coriander, paprika, black pepper and salt in the food processor and blend them all well together. Add these to the onions in the mixing bowl.
3. Place the slices of bread in the same food processor and give it several pulses to create breadcrumbs. Again, add these to the mixing bowl, then mix the ingredients well.
4. Whisk the egg, add it to the mixing bowl, then add the meat. Use your hands to mix all the ingredients well together, then form the round burger patties (you should get about 6 from this recipe).
5. Use a finger or thumb to make a deep indent in the top of each patty, then fill the hole (generously) with the Roquefort Cheese, pushing it down through the middle of the patty. Bring just a little meat from around the edge of each patty and cover the cheese (so it doesn't run out while you are grilling/broiling).
6. Grill (broil) on medium heat according to how well done you like your meat (normally about 4-5 minutes on each side), then serve on ciabatta bread with salad and olives.
