NORTHERN STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the garlic powder, ground black pepper and celery seed to taste. Mix well and form into 8 flat patties.
• Spread 4 of the patties with your favorite condiments, then place the 4 remaining patties over these and seal the edges.
• Grill over high heat for 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Use either two spatulas to turn, or you could use a fish basket.

HERB BUTTER-STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the herb butter: Mix the butter, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap and form into a 4-inch log. Wrap and freeze until firm enough to slice, about 20 minutes. Slice the butter log into 8 rounds.
• Make the burgers: Preheat a grill to medium high. Divide the ground beef into 4 mounds, place a slice of butter on each, then gently shape the beef around the butter to enclose. Press the beef into four 4-inch-wide patties (about 1/2 inch thick). Refrigerate until ready to grill. Set aside the remaining butter for serving.
• Season the burgers on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until well marked, 3 minutes. Flip and top each with a slice of cheese. Cook 3 more minutes for medium rare, covering during the last 15 seconds to melt the cheese. Grill the buns until toasted.
• Spread the remaining herb butter on the bottom buns. Serve the burgers on the buns with mustard, onion, tomatoes and lettuce. Skewer cornichons on toothpicks and insert into each burger.

MOLTEN CHEESE-STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion with a good pinch of salt for 15 mins until soft and translucent. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 mins more, then add the garlic and thyme, and cook for 2 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 15 mins.
• Tip the mince into a large bowl. Massage with your hands for 5 mins to tenderise the meat, then add the cooled onion mix, the breadcrumbs and egg yolk. Season generously. Divide evenly into four, weighing for accuracy, if you like. Mix the cheddar and mozzarella together. Form the beef portions into patties, patting each into a 10cm round. Divide the cheese mixture into four, and, in your hands, form each portion into a firm ball, then press into a roughly 4cm disc. Working one at a time, put a cheese disc into the centre of a beef patty, then bring the meat around the cheese to cover. Lightly pat with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly, then chill, covered, for at least 30 mins or up to 48 hrs.
• Make the sauce by whizzing the mayonnaise, mustard and herbs together in a small food processor. Stir through the gherkins, then cover and chill until ready to use.
• Light the barbecue. When the flames have died down, grill the burgers on each side for 4-5 mins until charred (if you don't have a barbecue, see tip, below). Wrap individually in foil and leave on the barbecue for 5-7 mins so the cheese centre melts.
• Grill the buns, cut-side down, for 1-2 mins until toasted. Spread all the cut sides with the sauce, then fill with the beef patties, lettuce, tomatoes and crispy onions.
