Lamburgers with Smoked Mozzarella

• Coarse salt (optional)
• 1/4 pound smoked mozzarella
• 1 pound ground lamb, or a little more
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1. Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill or broiler; the fire should be moderately hot.
2. Or heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 or 4 minutes before you start cooking, then sprinkle it with coarse salt.
3. Cut the cheese into 4 pieces and form the meat into patties around each one; season with salt and pepper.
4. Grill, broil, or pan-grill, 2 to 4 inches from the heat source, for about 3 or 4 minutes per side, or until the outside feels very firm.
5. If you like your meat on the well-done side, move the burgers to a lower heat and cook an additional minute or two longer per side.
