Ingredients

Method

1) Preheat oven to 260 degrees C.

2) Cut 10 wedges from each potato and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle a couple tablespoons of oil over the potatoes to coat them lightly, then season with rosemary, salt and pepper, to taste, and 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes. Crack a couple of garlic cloves and add to the potatoes. Roast 25 minutes, turning once. Remove from the oven, set aside and keep warm.

3) Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place ground meats in a bowl and add 2 to 3 cloves of grated garlic, grill seasoning, fennel seed, 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes and Worcestershire sauce. Mix the ingredients well and form into 4 patties. Make patties thinner in the center, since burgers tend to bulge as they cook. Cook burgers 5 to 6 minutes on each side.

4) While burgers cook, slice the tomatoes and onion.

5) In a food processor, combine capers, parsley, anchovy paste, lemon zest and olives. Turn processor on and drizzle in 3 to 4 tbsps oil until a thick paste forms.

6) Place the cheese on top of the burgers and allow to melt.

7) Toast buns and place burgers on the bottoms. Top with tomato, onions and basil. Slather the bun tops with some olive tapenade and cover the burgers with bun tops. Serve with oven fries.
