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 3/4-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.
