Instructions

1 ✓

Form 4 patties, deepening the centres slightly. Season them with salt and pepper immediately before frying.

Tip: The indentation ensures that when the meat fibres contract during cooking, the patty won't puff up but remains evenly flat.
2 ✓

Warm the honey in a small pan, add the halved grapes, and simmer over medium heat for a few minutes until the grapes release juice and collapse slightly.

Tip: This quick 'jam' concentrates the grape flavour and sugar content, providing a great contrast to the salty cheese.
3 ✓

Fry the meat in a hot pan for 3-4 minutes per side to get a nice crust. After flipping, crumble the blue cheese on top and cover the pan to melt the cheese.

Tip: Blue cheese melts quickly, so 30-60 seconds under the lid is enough.
4 ✓

Toast the buns. When assembling, place a bed of rocket on the bottom, then the cheesy meat, and crown with the honey roasted grapes.

Tip: The peppery taste of rocket complements the sweet grapes perfectly. Sauce isn't strictly necessary as the grape juice and melted cheese make it juicy enough.

Recipe FAQ

What kind of grapes should I use?
Seedless red or purple grapes are best because they are sweeter and have thinner skins.
I don't like blue cheese, what can I substitute it with?
You can use ripe Camembert or goat's cheese, they also go well with grapes.
