## Ingredients

- 1 whole red onion, grated or finely chopped
- 30 g fresh parsley, chopped
- 30 g fresh mint, chopped
- 1 medium egg
- 100 g breadcrumbs

1. Grate the red onion or blitz it and add to a bowl. Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint and add to the same bowl.
2. Add the egg, breadcrumbs, beef mince and seasoning to the bowl and mix until well combined.
3. Take about a tablespoon of the mixture, flatten it, place a cube of the Kefalotyri in the middle, and roll the mince into a ball to cover. Smooth the edges using the palm of your hand to form a flat burger shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
4. Over high heat, add the oil to a frying pan and heat for 2 minutes or until a wooden spoon fizzes when poked into the oil.
