These burgers have a bright flavor, but make sure you mix the lemon juice in thoroughly so the ground meat doesnt "cook" in the acid.

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.
