  •  15ml olive oil
  •  4 Panini’s or 2 small baguettes, halved
  •  Mixed salad leaves
  •  2 Tomatoes, sliced
  •  16 slices young camembert

DIRECTIONS

METHOD

  1. Brush steak burgers with olive oil.
  2. Grill in hot griddle pan or braai on grid over ­moderately hot coals until nicely browned. Keep warm.

INGREDIENTS:

ONION MARMELADE

  • 6 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 750ml sherry or red wine vinegar
  • 750ml sugar
  • 90ml mustard seeds
  • 2-4 bay leaves
  • 20 Black peppercorns, cracked

METHOD:

  • Place onions, sherry or red wine vinegar, sugar, bay leaves and peppercorns in a heavy-based pot over low heat.
  • Simmer until almost all liquid has evaporated and onions are translucent.
  • Set aside to cool.
  • Place in glass jars and refrigerate. Will keep for 4-6 months.

TO ASSEMBLE:

  • Butter both sides of the bread.
  • Place leaves and a tomato slice on the bottom part.
  • Place ostrich steak burgers on the leaves, followed by the Camembert;  top with onion ­marmalade and the other half of buttered bread. Serve.
Chef’s tip:  Replace butter with low-fat cottage cheese. Camembert can be replaced with shavings of mature cheddar or Parmesan cheese.
