Sauce

  1. To make sauce, combine all ingredients in a jug. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside

Patties

  1. Preheat grill to high heat
  2. Divide Mozzarella into four even amounts. Set aside
  3. To make patties, combine mince, onion, egg yolk, breadcrumbs and mustard in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Divide mixture into four equal portions. Shape portions into patties, about 10 cm in diameter (5 mm thick)
  4. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties. Cook for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until browned. Top the centre of the patties with Mozzarella. Cover pan with lid. Cook for a further 3 to 4 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove patties from pan
