Lemon and roasted garlic burgers

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Head garlic
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1½ pounds Ground chuck
1 tablespoon Grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
Salt; ground black pepper
4 larges Rolls; such as brioche, split, toasted

Directions

Preparation time: 1 hour Cooking time: 10 minutes Yield: 4 servings These burgers have a bright flavor, but make sure you mix the lemon juice in thoroughly so the ground meat doesn't "cook" in the acid. Adapted from "Comfort Food: Burgers," by Charles Pierce.

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut off pointed end of garlic head, exposing cloves. Place garlic head on square of aluminum foil; drizzle with olive oil. Crimp foil loosely around garlic head. Place in oven; roast until cloves are soft, about 1 hour.

2. Heat broiler. Combine ground meat, lemon zest and juice in large bowl.

Squeeze out pulp from 4 garlic cloves and add to bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, then mix lightly with wet hands. Form into 4 patties, each about ¾-inch thick.

3. Broil burgers about 10 minutes total for medium rare, turning once.

Place burgers on bottom halves of rolls, topping each with pulp from 2 or 3 garlic cloves. Top with other halves of rolls; serve.
