- Chimichurri
- 2 cups flat leaf parsley, packed fresh

- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon spanish paprika, smoked sweet
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

- black pepper, fresh ground
- Burgers
- 1 1/2 lbs ground chuck (80% lean) or 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey (90% lean)
- kosher salt
- black pepper, fresh ground
- 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 slices manchego cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- Chimichurri: combine parsley, oregano, and garlic in food processor until coarsely chopped. Add paprika, vinegar, and oil , season with salt and pepper, then process until smooth. Scrape into a bowl. Let sit at room temp for 30 min before serving. Sauce can be made 8 hrs in advance, tightly covered, and refrigerated. Bring to room temp before serving.
- Divide meat into 4 equal portions. Form each portion loosely into 3/4-inch thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cook burgers, using the oil and topping each one with a slice of cheese and and a basting cover* during the last minute of cooking.
- Place the burgers on the buns, top with a large dollop of sauce and sliced onion. Serve immediately.
- *Basting Cover - an inexpensive aluminum dome used in diners. It looks like the lid of a sautee pan, except that it is domed to fit over the burger. If you don't have this, you can use a sturdy metal bowl, or tent each burger with a square of aluminum foil. The cover helps to properly melt the cheese.
