Ingredients

450g (1lb) organic lamb mince
2 small or 1 big leek (finely sliced)
1/2 onion (finely sliced)
1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
1 egg (beaten)
4 x 1in sq cubes of hard goats' cheese (or cheddar if you prefer non-lactose free)
1 tbsp oil
Salt & pepper to taste
A few sprigs rosemary (leaves chopped)

Handy Hint

To make the breadcrumbs I whizz the end crusts of my gluten free loaf with some olive oil, optional herbs, black pepper, salt and lemon rind, then place in a hot over for 10 mins to dry a little. This can be frozen and used to top cod, salmon, chicken or be used in recipes such as this one.

Method

1. Heat oil and sauté leeks & onion with salt, pepper and rosemary until soft.
2. Place meat in bowl, add breadcrumbs, egg, leeks etc and a little more salt & pepper to taste.
3. Shape into 4 burger patties and press in a cube of cheese to centre, shaping meat back around so that it's dead centre.
4. Place burgers on a plate, cover with cling film & chill for 10mins.
5. Prepare a salad, wedges, fries...whatever you fancy as an accompaniment.
6. Pan fry burgers on a medium heat with no oil as they contain enough. Turn regularly. They will take 18-25 mins to cook.
Once well coloured all over and piping hot serve up!
