A meat product comprises a first patty (1) having a central portion (2) and a raised rim (3) surrounding the central portion (2). The raised rim (3) is tapered and sized and structured so as to retain the filling on the first patty. A filling 16 may be placed on the central portion (2). A second patty 4 may be placed on the first patty (1). The tapering of the raised rim (3) results in a side-by-side, overlapping contact 20 between the patties, which provides a good seal and a pleasing domed shape. The meat product may be a chicken kiev formed from two chicken patties, a garlic butter filling and a breadcrumb coating. An apparatus for producing a meat product comprises a mould shaped to form a first patty having a central portion and a tapered, raised rim； means for placing a filling onto the central portion of the first patty； and means for at least partially cooking the product.
