Sausage Patties
1. Chill the meat thoroughly and then combine the sausage and ground beef.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and divide the mixture into 4 equal portions.
3. Form the patties into the same shape and, using your thumb, create a well in the centre of each patty.
Confit Tomatoes

2. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, cheese, sugar and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook under the broiler for about 10 minutes or until the tomatoes caramelize and burst. Remove from oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped basil.
