ROASTED GARLIC BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill, or preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix together the meat, salt and pepper, and Roasted Garlic Paste.
• Using your hands, form 4 individual burgers. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill.
• Cook the burgers over a hot fire or roast in the oven until desired internal temperature is reached, about 160 degrees for medium.
• Split each loaf of levain 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 serve with garnishes.
• Combine the garlic and oil. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium. Simmer until garlic is brown and soft. Smash garlic with the back of a spoon; keep some chunks.
• Mix all ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, arrange the mushrooms in a single layer. Don't stir! Let them sizzle until they have caramelized on the bottom, about 2 minutes. If you toss them too soon, they will release their liquid and begin to steam. When the bottoms are caramelized, toss the mushrooms and continue to cook over high heat for about 5 minutes.
• Add the butter. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are beautifully browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add the shallots and garlic. Saute until the garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the thyme. Add the wine, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer until the mushrooms are glazed with the sauce. Add the parsley, transfer to a warmed bowl, and serve immediately.

STUFFED MOZZARELLA AND CHILI PASTE HAMBURGERS

Place a chunk of mozzarella and drizzle some chili paste or chili flakes on top of the mozzarella. Add a good twist of black pepper. Take another 3-ounce scoop of meat, make it flat in your hand and place right on top of the other half.
• Take your fingers and just seal the 2 patties up and refrigerate until you are ready to grill.
• 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.

ROASTED GARLIC STUFFED STEAK WITH GARLIC MASHERS AND BALSAMIC CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Marinate the steaks overnight in olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. You can utilize any fresh herbs you have in your garden or local market such as rosemary. Take the steaks out and let them rest about an hour before you start to work with them. In the meantime, fire up the oven to 350 degrees F. Take your garlic bulbs and slice them in half diagonally. Season with olive oil and sea salt. Roast on a pan in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the garlic is nice and golden brown and your house smells heavenly. Take out and set aside.
• Heat your saute pan with some olive oil and throw in about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic when hot. Add spinach and saute until spinach is just wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Chop up the sun-dried tomatoes and toss with the spinach. When the spinach has cooled, throw in the brie and the roasted garlic. You can easily pull the roasted garlic from the 'husk' by using a toothpick to pull it out. Mix together very well!
• Season with salt and pepper. You can also throw in a teaspoon or so of fresh rosemary at this point. Set aside. Take your steaks and cut a slit into the side of them, just as you would with stuffing pork chops. Carefully stuff the steaks with your roasted garlic stuffing. Throw those guys on the BBQ for about 3-4 minutes per side pending your guests preference. I serve these steaks over garlic mashers which I usually just throw in an extra bulb of garlic to roast when making the stuffing and mash it all up with some fresh potatoes, butter and cream. A little parsley to garnish.
• For the sauce, take 4 tablespoons of butter and melt in a saucepan over low heat. Add about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic, 1/4 cup of cream and 4 tablespoons of good quality balsamic vinegar. Throw in a sprig of fresh rosemary and reduce the sauce by about 1/3. Take out the rosemary. To plate, place lean against a heap of the garlic mashers and drizzle the sauce around the plate and over the potatoes. Garnish with fresh rosemary. It is excellent to have a nice fresh loaf of bread to serve with this. I also BBQ up some fresh local corn on the grill to accompany this meal. It is a fairly easy and gourmet meal to prepare. You can even make the stuffing the night before. Enjoy! And long live garlic!!!

MOLTEN CHEESE-STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion with a good pinch of salt for 15 mins until soft and translucent. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 mins more, then add the garlic and thyme, and cook for 2 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 15 mins.
• Tip the mince into a large bowl. Massage with your hands for 5 mins to tenderise the meat, then add the cooled onion mix, the breadcrumbs and egg yolk. Season generously. Divide evenly into four, weighing for accuracy, if you like. Mix the cheddar and mozzarella together. Form the beef portions into patties, patting each into a 10cm round. Divide the cheese mixture into four, and, in your hands, form each portion into a firm ball, then press into a roughly 4cm disc. Working one at a time, put a cheese disc into the centre of a beef patty, then bring the meat around the cheese to cover. Lightly pat with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly, then chill, covered, for at least 30 mins or up to 48 hrs.
• Make the sauce by whizzing the mayonnaise, mustard and herbs together in a small food processor. Stir through the gherkins, then cover and chill until ready to use.
• Light the barbecue. When the flames have died down, grill the burgers on each side for 4-5 mins until charred (if you don't have a barbecue, see tip, below). Wrap individually in foil and leave on the barbecue for 5-7 mins so the cheese centre melts.
• Grill the buns, cut-side down, for 1-2 mins until toasted. Spread all the cut sides with the sauce, then fill with the beef patties, lettuce, tomatoes and crispy onions.

BLUE CHEESE BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, blue cheese, chives, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, and mustard. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Preheat grill for high heat. Gently form the burger mixture into about 12 patties.
• Oil the grill grate. Grill patties 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Serve on rolls.
