• 1. In a large bowl mix together pork, veal, lemon zest, oregano, salt, pepper, parsley and anchovy paste. 2.

Add sun-dried tomatoes, capers, salt, sugar and water. Bring to the boil. 6. Once boiling reduce heat to low, cover and simmer sauce for 20 minutes. 7. Remove lid and continue cooking over low until the sauce has thickened and any excess liquid has evaporated, remove from heat to let cool. Once cooled stir in basil. 8. Heat the barbecue on high. Place patties on the grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink inside. Do not overcook or they will be dry. While burgers are finishing, warm the ciabatta buns on cooler part of the grill. 9. Serve burgers on buns topped with relish and arugula.
