Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground chicken/lamb
• 1 onion, minced
• 1 onion sliced in round
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon sun dried tomatoes, sliced thinly (optional)
• 1/4th cup garlic, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon tabasco sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon honey mustard
• cheddar cheese cut into cubes
• 2-3 lettuce leaves

Method:

• Wash the minced meat well and let the water drain completely.
• In a bowl, mix the minced onion, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and all the sauces with the meat.
• Take small portions of the meat and make a small hole in the centre to fill it with the cheese. Make a ball to cover the cheese and pat it flat.
• Cook it in a flat pan till brown on both sides for about 6-7 mins on both sides, depending on the meat and the thickness (do not overcook the meat).
• After cooked, let the pattice rest for 5 mins.
• For the filling I personally really like the sweetness of caramalised onions.
• Simply cook the onion slices in a pan with a teaspoon of butter on a low flame.The onion will start turning brown slowly and will turn soft.
• Additional toppings can be tomatoes, lettuce leaves or bacon.
