Ingredients
Garlic head
1 lb (Remove the loose skins and cut off the top third to expose the cloves.)
Olive oil
1/2 cup (Used to drizzle over the garlic.)
Salt
to taste (For seasoning the garlic and burger mixture.)
Freshly ground black pepper
to taste (For seasoning the garlic and burger mixture.)
Ground chuck
1 lb (Use for making the burger patties.)
Roasted garlic paste
3 tablespoons (Made from the roasted garlic for seasoning the burger.)
Crusty bread loaf
1 (Cut into 2 sections to create nests for the burgers.)
Instructions
1
Prepare the Roasted Garlic Paste: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Remove the loose, papery skins from the garlic heads, then slice off the top third of each head to expose the cloves. Place the heads cut side up in a small baking dish.
3
Drizzle the exposed cloves with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 45 minutes. After this time, uncover the dish and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cloves are soft, beginning to pop from their skins, and exhibit a golden-brown color.
5
Let the roasted garlic cool before squeezing the cloves from their skins into a mixing bowl. Add the remaining oil from the baking dish and blend to create a smooth paste. This roasted garlic paste can be stored refrigerated for up to one week.
6
For the Burgers: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck with a generous amount of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and 3 tablespoons of your prepared roasted garlic paste. Gently mix until just combined, then form two patties, each approximately 3 inches thick, ensuring they will fit snugly into your bread sections with a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
7
Take the loaf of crusty bread and slice it into two sections. Carefully pull out some of the soft interior from both halves to create a 'nest' for the burgers.
8
Toast the cut sides of the bread under a broiler or on a hot grill until golden and crispy.
9
Cook the burger patties on the grill or under the broiler to your desired doneness, usually for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium.
10
Once cooked, place the burgers inside the toasted bread nests and add any condiments of your choice, such as lettuce, tomato, or a drizzle of balsamic reduction, to enhance the flavor.
