Method

 
Oven temperature: 160°C
1. Preheat the oven. Halve the tomatoes lengthwise and place them skin side down on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on top and season with salt and black pepper. Bake until soft.

2. Prepare the meat patties: Place the slices of white bread in a mixing bowl and sprinkle the stock cube, onion-soup powder and mustard powder on top. Pour in the milk and then work the mixture into a paste.

3. Add the bread paste to the mince, as well as the feta and lemon zest and juice, and mix. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Divide the meat mixture and shape it into six patties. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

4. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and fry the patties until golden brown and done to your liking.

5. To serve: Halve the ciabatta rolls and drizzle olive oil on top. Place rocket leaves on one half, followed by a patty, two fried tomato halves and onion marmalade. Place the other half of the ciabatta roll on top and serve.

Makes 6 patties.

Quite often I see recipes with ingredients that are eihter so exotic as to be unavailable or so expensive that one can only wonder if it would be worth the effort and price. -- Merely an observation on some recipes I've seen
 
 

Tip of the day

 
Buttermilk substitute
If your recipe calls for buttermilk, but you don't have any, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup of milk, then let it stand for 5 minutes before using.
