Tear bread into small pieces, place in a bowl, pour over the milk and olive oil. |
2 |
Set aside for a few minutes or until bread absorbs most of the liquid. Mix with a fork. |
3 |
Place the beef mince, garlic, lemon rind and juice, parmesan, chopped basil, salt and pepper in a large bowl, add the bread mixture. Using your hand bring the mixture together and knead until well combined. Shape the mixture into four burgers. |
4 |
Brush burgers lightly with oil before cooking. Preheat the char-grill pan or barbecue grill to moderately hot before adding the burgers; they should sizzle when you place them on the heat. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, turn them once only. |

Serve burgers on char-grilled Italian bread that is topped with rocket and roasted capsicum. Dollop each burger with a slice of blue cheese. |
