Ingredients

• 450g/1 lb minced beef

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 1 celery stick, chopped

• 5ml/1 tsp mixed dried herbs

• 5ml/1 tsp mustard

• 50g/2 oz crumbled Stilton cheese

• 4 burger buns

• salt and ground black pepper

Serves 4

Method:

1. Place the minced beef in a bowl with the chopped onion and celery. Mix together, then season with salt and pepper.

2. Stir the herbs and mustard, bringing them together to form a firm mixture.

3. Divide the mixture into eight equal portions. Place four on a chopping board and flatten each one slightly.

4. Place the crumbled cheese in the centre of each.

5. Flatten the remaining mixture and place on top. Mould the mixture together, encasing the crumbled cheese, and shape into four burgers.

6. Grill under a moderate heat for 10 minutes, turning once, or until cooked through. Split the burger buns and place a burger inside each.

7. Serve with a freshly made salad and some mustard pickle.
