A delightful twist on classic burgers, featuring Spanish-inspired flavors and a rich olive relish.
Chop half of the onion finely and slice the other half into rings.
Chopping the onion finely ensures it blends well into the burger mixture.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until soft, about 4 minutes. Add one minced garlic clove and cook for another minute.
Cooking the onion and garlic together enhances their flavors.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with the ground pork. Season with salt and pepper, then form into six patties.
Ensure the patties are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked.
Avoid pressing the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with smoked paprika and the remaining minced garlic.
Let the mayo sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover the skillet to melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
Covering the skillet helps the cheese melt evenly.
Spread the paprika mayo on both halves of the buns. Place a patty on the bottom half of each bun, top with sliced onion and olives, then cover with the top bun.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
