Balibey is one of the characters in the Turkish TV series "The Magnificent Century". Just as impressive as this lamb burger. Recipe by Oleg Petrichenko, chef of the Cheapside burger bistro

For the sauce, bake a medium-sized tomato and sweet pepper in the oven at 200 degrees for fifteen to twenty minutes. (You need 40 grams of each, but it's easier to bake them whole.) Meanwhile, sauté chopped onion in half a tablespoon of oil. Peel the tomato and pepper and blend them with the fried onion.

- Folepi cheese (French Emmental-style): 50 g
- Mayonnaise: 40 g
- Pepper paste (biber salcasi): 8 g
- Potato: 100 g
- Deep-frying oil: 300 ml

Make patties from minced meat. Fry in vegetable oil for two and a half minutes, then flip, season with salt and pepper, and place cheese mixture on the fried side. Fry the other side for the same amount of time.

- Salt: to taste
- Ground black pepper: to taste
