Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, extra-virgin
3 cups spanish onions
thinly sliced
¾ teaspoon black pepper
freshly ground, divided
1 pound ground pork
lean
1 tablespoon green olives
finely chopped Spanish
*
2 teaspoons garlic

2 teaspoons paprika
¼ cup mayonnaise, light
*
2 teaspoons lemon zest
freshly grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pinch saffron threads
*
¼ cup monterey jack cheese

2 whole pimentos

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add onion, ¼ teaspoon pepper and ⅛ teaspoon salt.

Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.

Set aside half the onion for topping; finely chop the other half.

Preheat grill to medium.

Place the chopped onion in a large bowl; add pork, olives, garlic, paprika, the remaining ½ teaspoon pepper and ⅛ teaspoon salt.

Gently combine, without overmixing, until evenly incorporated. Form into 4 equal patties, about ½ inch thick.

Combine mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice and saffron in a small bowl.

Oil the grill rack.

Grill the burgers, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°F, 10 to 12 minutes total.

Top with cheese and cook until it is melted, about 1 minute more.

Assemble the burgers on toasted buns with the lemon-saffron mayonnaise, some of the reserved onions and a half a Piquillo (or pimiento) pepper.
