Notes

The pressed grilling technique creates a compact burger with incredible texture and helps melt the cheese evenly.

Roasted garlic puree adds sweetness and depth so preparing extra is always useful for future meals.

Choose sturdy sourdough buns to support the weight of this layered burger.

Leftover donkey sauce and garlic butter keep well and add flavor to many other dishes.
