Ingredients

2 slices Thick white Italian-style bread, crusts removed

1/3 cup Milk

1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

400g Lean beef mince

1 clove Garlic, crushed

Finely grated rind and juice of a lemon

1 cup Grated parmesan cheese

Chopped fresh basil

1 tsp Salt

Freshly ground pepper

Char-grilled slices of Italian bread, rocket leaves, roasted capsicum to serve

150g Wedge blue cheese

Method

  • Tear bread into small pieces, place in a bowl, pour over the milk and olive oil.
  • Set aside for a few minutes or until bread absorbs most of the liquid. Mix with a fork.
  • Place the beef mince, garlic, lemon rind and juice, parmesan, chopped basil, salt and pepper in a large bowl, add the bread mixture. Using your hand bring the mixture together and knead until well combined. Shape the mixture into four burgers.
  • Brush burgers lightly with oil before cooking. Preheat the char-grill pan or barbecue grill to moderately hot before adding the burgers; they should sizzle when you place them on the heat. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, turn them once only.
  • Serve burgers on char-grilled Italian bread that is topped with rocket and roasted capsicum. Dollop each burger with a slice of blue cheese.

Tips

  • Burgers should always be thoroughly cooked; they should not be served rare or pink. A good guide is to insert a skewer into the thickest part; if it is ready to eat the juices will be clear.
