Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 1/4 pounds ground chuck
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) grated Parmesan
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

• 9 small ciabatta rolls, sliced in 1/2
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.

2. Place the garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the ground chuck, Parmesan cheese, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Pulse until ingredients are combined. Form the mixture into 9 patties. Place the burgers on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes each side.

3. Brush the cut side of each roll with the olive oil and toast on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly golden.
