Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef, divided into 4 patties
- 1/2 cup stuffed green olives, sliced and drained
- 1/2 cup black olives, sliced and drained
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Sliced hard beef salami
- 8 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
- All-purpose seasoning, to taste
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 hamburger buns, lightly toasted
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomato
- Dijon mustard
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix green olives, black olives, carrot, capers, and olive oil. Stir and set aside.
- Season ground beef with salt, pepper, and all-purpose seasoning. Divide each patty into two thin halves.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the olive mixture and 2 tablespoons mozzarella on one half, then cover with the other half and seal edges tightly.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through and cheese is melted.
- Lightly toast buns. Spread Dijon mustard on one side and layer with lettuce, tomato, and a slice of salami.
- Place the stuffed burger on the bun and top with the remaining half. Serve warm.
Notes
Use cold beef when forming and filling the patties to reduce leakage. Let the olive mixture drain briefly to avoid a runny filling.
