Inside-Out Lamb Cheeseburgers

1. 1

   Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill.

2. 2

   Or, on a stove top, heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat for 3 or 4 minutes.

3. 3

   Put meat and some salt and pepper in a food processor, in batches if necessary, and pulse until coarsely ground: finer than chopped, but not much.

4. 4

   Taste and adjust seasoning.

5. 5

   (If desired, cook a teaspoon of meat in a pan before tasting.)

6. 6

   Divide meat into 4 sections and shape each one around a piece of cheese, enclosing it fully.

7. 7

   Cook over moderately hot fire: you will be able to hold your hand 3 or 4 inches over rack for a few seconds.

8. 8

   Grill burgers about 4 minutes a side for medium-rare, and until cheese begins to melt.

9. 9

   (Timing on stove top is the same.)

10. 10

    Serve on buns, toast or hard rolls, garnished as you like.
