Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Put the beef, onion with its juice, garlic, oregano, parsley, egg, breadcrumbs, olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

2. 2

   Knead with your hands until evenly mixed and slightly sticky, 2-3 min.

3. 3

   Divide the mixture into 4 portions.

4. 4

   Flatten one portion into an oval about 1 cm (1/2 in) thick in your palm.

5. 5

   Lay a slab of feta on one half, fold the meat over and pinch the edges firmly so no cheese shows.

6. 6

   Repeat with the rest and chill the patties for 10 min if they feel soft.

7. 7

   Heat a griddle pan or barbecue to medium-high and brush the grates or pan with a little oil.

8. 8

   Cook the patties until well browned underneath, 5-6 min, then turn and cook the other side for 5-6 min.

9. 9

   Check that they are cooked through: the centre of the meat should reach 71 °C (160 °F).

10. 10

    Rest for 2 min and serve with the lemon wedges for squeezing.
