Tapenade-Filled BurgersRomulo Yanes

Tucked inside these juicy chuck burgers is a pocket of rich, salty tapenade. To experience the full range of flavors, build your burger with all the Accompaniments — the bite of red onion and the sweet crunch of gherkin pickles are key.

Cooks' notes:

· Patties can be assembled up to 8 hours ahead and chilled, covered. · If you can't grill outdoors, patties can be cooked on a lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, turning over once, 4 minutes total for medium-rare.
