CHEESE-STUFFED LAMB BURGERS

Steps:

• For the pickled onions: Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, pickling spice and 1 cup cool water in a medium saucepot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add onions to the pot and stir to combine. Bring back to a simmer, then turn off the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Transfer to a resealable container and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 weeks.
• For the tzatziki: Combine the yogurt, cucumber, dill, mint, lemon juice and salt in a bowl and refrigerate until serving time.
• For the burgers: Combine the lamb, onion, mint, parsley, tapenade, salt, pepper and garlic in a large bowl, being careful not to overmix. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Using a burger-sized ring mold (about 4 inches across), lay the ring mold on a baking sheet and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Press 1 portion of the lamb mixture down lightly to fill the bottom of the ring mold. Add about 1 tablespoon of each cheese, then another portion of the lamb mixture. Cover with the plastic wrap, then press down firmly to fill the ring mold. Remove the plastic-wrapped burger from the ring mold, then repeat with the remaining lamb mixture and cheese to create 3 more burgers. Cover the patties in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to high heat and cook the burgers, flipping only once, until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Spread some tzatziki sauce on the bottoms of the toasted rolls and stack with patties. Top each with pickled red onions, some lettuce, more tzatziki sauce and the tops of the rolls.

VEAL ROLLS WITH PROSCIUTTO AND CHEESE

Steps:

• 1 Place the veal cutlets on a flat surface. Sprinkle lightly with freshly ground pepper. 2 Lay a piece of prosciutto on each veal cutlet, trimming it to fit as needed. Place a piece of cheese on one end of each. Roll up the cutlets from the short end, tucking in the sides to form neat rolls. 3 Place a barbecue grill or broiler rack about 5 inches from the heat source. Preheat the grill or broiler. Hold two metal skewers side by side about 1 inch apart like the tines of a large meat fork. Alternate the rolls on the skewers with the sage leaves, beginning and ending with the leaves. 4 Brush the rolls with the olive oil. Grill or broil until the meat is lightly browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Serve hot. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
