ROASTED POBLANO PEPPER SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the roasted garlic sauce: Put a sheet of aluminum foil in a roasting pan and add the garlic. Toss with the oil, fold up the foil around the garlic and roast until soft, about 45 minutes.
• For the beef patties: Toss the poblano peppers and onions with the vegetable oil and a pinch of kosher salt in a roasting pan. Cook for 30 to 35 minutes. Peel and seed the roasted peppers, then chop the peppers and onions into small dice.
• When the garlic is done roasting, transfer to a blender, add the sour cream, mayonnaise and vinegar and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set the sauce aside until serving.
• Put the ground beef, Worcestershire, black pepper, ancho chile and 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a medium bowl. Fold in the diced peppers and onions. Divide the mixture into 3-ounce portions and form these portions into 8 patties.
• Heat a griddle to medium or medium high; cook the patties to medium, about 5 minutes on each side.
• For the corn and chorizo relish: Saute the chorizo in a skillet until lightly browned. Add the corn and cook for 5 minutes. Add the vinegar, then cook for another minute. Set aside.
• For the griddled queso fresco and rolls: Heat a griddle to medium low. Grease the griddle with 1/2 teaspoon of the oil, then cook the cheese until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Grease the griddle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil, then place the rolls on the griddle cut-side down until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
• Place a burger on each roll, then spoon some of the corn and chorizo relish on top. Place a piece of griddled cheese over the relish, and top with some of the roasted garlic sauce.

SLIDERS

Steps:

• Lightly mix 6 ounces ground beef chuck with a big pinch of kosher salt. Form into three, 2-ounce balls, then into 3/4-inch-thick patties; make an indentation in the centers.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; sprinkle the skillet with salt. Cook the burgers 3 minutes per side. Top with Swiss in the last minute of cooking (cover to melt). Serve on mini potato buns with pickles and ketchup.
