Ingredients:

• 1-1 1/2 lbs (450-675 g) ground beef, preferably chuck
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) shredded mozzarella or fontina cheese
• 3 Tbs (45 ml) chopped green or black olives
• 2 Tbs (30 ml) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 Tbs (30 ml) chopped capers
• 2 Tbs (30 ml) chopped pine nuts (pignoli)
• 2 Tbs (30 ml) chopped fresh parsley

Method:

Mix the meat with the salt and pepper and form into 8 or 12 patties. Combine the remaining ingredients and divide between half the patties. Place the remaining patties on top and press the edges to seal.  Grill over hot coals, pan-fry, or broil until cooked through, turning once halfway through cooking.
