- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon smoked sweet Spanish paprika
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

- 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 slices Manchego cheese
- 4 hamburger buns, split; toasted (see page 15), if desired
- 1/2 red onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- To make the chimichurri, combine the parsley, oregano, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.
- Add the paprika, vinegar, and oil, season with salt and pepper, and process until smooth.
- Scrape into a bowl.
- Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
- The sauce can be made 8 hours in advance, tightly covered, and refrigerated.
- Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each).
- Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb.

- Cook the burgers, using the oil (see page 16) and topping each one with a slice of cheese and a basting cover during the last minute of cooking (see page 21).
- Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and top with a large dollop of the sauce and sliced onion.
