Instructions
- Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
- For the burgers, thoroughly mix the ground chuck with chopped shallots, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Gently fold in the crab meat. Form into 6 equal patties sized to fit the rolls. Loosely cover and refrigerate.
- For the sauce, heat olive oil in a sauce pot over medium heat. Add corn, onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add wine and broth. Simmer until reduced by ½. Season with pepper. While sauce is reducing start grilling burgers.
- Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the burgers on the hot grates. After one minute turn grill to medium and grill for about 4 more minutes. Turn grill to med high and gently turn burgers. (Brush with more olive oil if necessary.) Grill one minute then turn to medium and grill for about 4 more minutes.
- Place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill rack to toast lightly during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
- Combine butter and flour in a small bowl. Once sauce is reduced to half, remove from heat and immediately whisk in butter mixture to thicken sauce. Use immediately. (To hold the sauce, set the pan in a larger pan of lukewarm water.).
- Place salad greens on bottom bun, place burgers on greens; generously top with roasted corn sauce.
