Stilton burgers

By Annette Newman

THIS week we have a little something different - an upper class burger no less. Stilton burgers anyone?!

This tasty recipe contains a delicious surprise -  encased in this crunchy burger is lightly melted stilton cheese

Ingredients (Serves 4)

450g minced ground beef

1 onion, very finely chopped

1 celery stick finely chopped

1 tsp mixed dried herbs

1 tsp mustard

50g crumbled stilton cheese

4 burger buns

Salt and pepper

Method

1) Reheat the grill. Place the minced beef in a bowl with the chopped onion and celery. Mix together and season with salt and pepper.

2) Stir in the herbs and mustard, bringing all the ingredients together to form a mixture.

3) Divide the mixture into eight equal portions. Place four on a chopping board and flatten each one slightly into a round. (Use a little bit of water on your hands to stop mixture sticking).

4) Divide the crumbled cheese between the four rounds, placing a portion in the centre of each. Flatten the remaining portions and place on top, encasing the crumbled cheese completely and shape into four burgers.

5) Grill under a medium heat, turning once, for ten minutes or until cooked all the way through. Split the burger buns and place the burgers inside each. Serve with a freshly made salad and pickles of your choice!

I am still holding out with a little summer recipe every now and again. I know next week we’ll have to get going with some truly lovely autumnal recipes, but for now, relax and savour, and until next time, happy cooking!
