Roasted Garlic Burger Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the grill. In a bowl, mix the meat, salt and pepper, and the roasted garlic paste.
• Form 4 burgers by using a mold, the top of a lid, or your hands. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to grill them.
• Cook burgers over a hot fire until desired temperature is reached.
• Meanwhile: Split the pieces of bread, and pull out some of the soft center to make a hole for the burger. Place the bread face down on the grill to toast.
• Place the burger in the bread, and top with your favorite condiments.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat an ovenproof saucepan on the stovetop. When it's hot, add the extra-virgin olive oil. Next, add the cloves and season with salt and pepper. Let the cloves begin to caramelize, then put the pan in the preheated oven.
• Roast cloves in the oven for about 30 minutes or until they are nicely browned. (Starting the garlic on the stove will save at least 20 minutes of roasting time). Let cool.
• When cool enough to handle easily, put the roasted garlic into a small bowl, mash with a fork and add oil from the pan until a paste forms. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 1 week.

ROASTED GARLIC BURGER WITH CAMBOZOLA

Steps:

• In a bowl, use the back of a spoon or a fork to smash the roasted garlic cloves into a paste (this works best if they are still hot or room temperature). Stir in the mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Preheat the grill.
• In a wide sauté pan, place the sliced onions and oil over medium-low heat. Stirring regularly, cook for 30 minutes or until the onions are deeply caramelized. Set aside.
• While the onions caramelize, gently work the Worcestershire sauce into the ground beef and form the beef into four 1/3 pound patties that are slightly wider than the buns you purchased. Generously sprinkle both sides of the patties with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Grill your burgers, flipping at least once, until the burger reaches your desired level of doneness, or an internal temperature 160°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
• While the burgers rest, toast the buns on the grill slightly then slather both halves with the roasted garlic aioli. Place the cambozola slices on the bottom bun and top with the burger, optional lettuce or arugula, caramelized onions and the top bun. Serve.

ROASTED GARLIC BURGER

• Cover the dish tightly and bake until 3/4 done, about 45 minutes; uncover and continue to bake another 15 minutes or until the cloves begin to pop out of their skins and brown; cool.
• Squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a bowl; add the oil from the baking dish and mix well, forming a paste.
• Store, refrigerated, up to one week.
• Burgers: Mix the hamburger, salt, pepper and garlic; form 2 burgers, 3" thick, to a size that will fit inside the bread with a 1/2" border all the way around.
• Split the 2 bread sections and pull out some of the soft center from both sides to make a nest for the burger; toast the cut sides under the broiler or on a grill.
• Broil or grill burgers to desired doneness; place in bread nest and add condiments of choice.

• Preheat grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds). Brush grill and burgers with vegetable oil. Grill, flipping once, until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toast rolls, cut sides down, on grill; brush cut sides with olive oil.
• Whisk lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add watercress; toss.

• Place butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; add garlic and remaining salt and pepper. Beat until well combined. Scrape butter onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape into a log; freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
