Chevre Stuffed Burgers, Grilled Time: 25 minutes
12 oz ground beef or turkey (350 gr mince) or 16oz if that's what's available
1/2 container soft goat cheese (chevre) my 'brand' is Chevraux, I think in the U.S. it's Chavrie. I usually used sliced goat cheese but as we have this left... from Saturday.
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 tbs breadcrumbs
1 tbs red wine
2 tsp ketchup
2 tsp soy sauce
In medium bowl mix herbs, breadcrumbs, garlic, ketchup, soy sauce and wine. Add beef and mix well - hands work best. Divide in half. Shape one half into 3 patties. Spread 1/3 of the remaining goat cheese on top of each patty, leaving 1/3" (1cm) edge. Divide remaining beef into thirds. Make each into a patty and place on top of cheese. Work edges to seal. Oil hinged basket. Place patties in basket and cook on barbecue grill over direct heat for 4 - 5 minutes per side. Or cook in grill pan on barbecue grill. Or sauté in nonstick skillet for same amount of time. Remove and serve.
Roasted Peppers, Tomatoes, Onions and Courgette (Zucchini) Time: 40 minutes
1 bell pepper, any color - I am using yellow
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
1 cup (8 oz, 200 grams) cherry tomatoes or
2 regular tomatoes
1 medium courgette (zucchini)
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
Fresh basil leaves - 2 tbs snipped
Finely mince garlic and put into a large bowl with the oil and vinegar. Allow the flavors to blend while preparing the vegetables. Clean peppers by cutting in half the long way and removing seeds. Cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide. Clean onion, cut in half and then each half into thirds, vertically. Cut cherry tomatoes in half if using, regular tomatoes in 6ths - same as onion. Cut zucchini into 1/2 inch (1.25cm) thick slices. Put all vegetables into the bowl with oil and vinegar and toss to coat. Put into the 'for barbecue use only' pan, cover with foil and cook on grill for 15 minutes. Remove foil, stir and cook for 15 minutes longer. OR Put into a baking pan large enough to just hold all in a single layer. Roast in 400F (200C) oven for 15 minutes. Remove, stir and roast for 15 minutes longer. Either way, when done: remove, stir, add some sea salt and pepper if you like, and the basil, serve.
Note: Remove vegetables and cover with foil while you cook burgers.
Note 2: You can add some cut-up potatoes if you like, we didn't.
