Mix gently and shape into eight patties (approx 1 inch thick). It’s best to cook the burgers on a grill, but if that it all just too hard then use a thick bottom frying pan. Grill the burgers for about 2-3 mins each side, turning once (this should give you a nice, blackened outer and a pink middle). Just before removing the burgers from the heat, top each with a piece of Stilton. Transfer to a platter while you lightly grill the buns. Top bun with burger, onion jam, lettuce and serve immediately.

\nIn a medium saucepan, heat 2 tbspns olive oil over a low heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened (about 10 mins), stirring occasionally. Make sure you don’t have to heat too high or the onion will burn. Add the red wine, vinegar, honey and thyme, simmering until the liquid has evaporated (10-15 mins). Season with salt and pepper and remove the thyme stalk.<\/p>\n
