1 ½ pounds (360 g) ground free-range or organic veal or lamp

(homemade) Ketchup* in a small bowl
optional: pickles, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, plain organic (dairy-free) yogurt....
1. Combine the ground veal/lamp in a large bowl with the sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, (and garlic). Mix together with your hands.
2. Form into six equal sized balls.
3. In a small bowl, toss together the cheese and basil.
4. Make an indentation in each ball. Press in some of the cheese & herbs mixture.
5. Seal the cheese in and press to form patties about an inch (2,5 cm) thick.
6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the patties. Cook until the meat is done and the cheese has melted, about 8-10 minutes in all.
8. Serve with the condiments on the side, with or without (gluten-free) buns.
