INSTRUCTIONS

TWO-OLIVE SPREAD
In a bowl, combine the ground sirloin and basil and mix well. Shape into 6
thick patties. Make a pocket in the center of each patty, fill each pocket
with 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese, and cover with the meat. Press into
patties 3/4 inch thick.
Heat grill pan or saute pan over medium-high heat. Spray lightly with
nonstick cooking spray, and add the burgers. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the
first side, flip, and cook 4 to 6 minutes on the second side for
medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
To serve, place the burgers on the toasted bun halves and top each burger
with 2 tablespoons of the olive spread. Top with lettuce and tomato and
finish with the top of the bun.
TWO-OLIVE SPREAD:
In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the olives,
chopped pepper, capers, parsley, and cayenne pepper and process until
coarsely chopped. Then use on-off pulses while slowly adding the olive oil
until it is absorbed. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to an airtight
container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  ADVANCED PREPARATION:
Can be prepared up to 1 week ahead, covered, and refrigerated.
