Steps:
- Preheat grill on high heat.
- Lay out ground chuck in a single layer and season well with salt and pepper. Divide chuck into four portions.
- Wrap each piece of Manchego in a 4-inch square piece of ham. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add each ham-and-cheese bundle and fry, turning, until ham is crisped and cheese is beginning to melt. Allow to cool slightly, fold meat around each bundle to form hamburgers about 1 inch thick.
- Grill burgers for about 4 to 5 minutes a side or until just cooked through.
SPANISH BURGER WITH PICKLED SHALLOTS
Steps:
- For the spiced butter: Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Add the harissa and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, cover and let sit 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- For the pickled saffron shallots: Bring the vinegar, sugar, salt and saffron to a boil in a small saucepan set over medium heat; remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Put the shallots in a small bowl, pour the vinegar mixture over, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
- For the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, harissa, smoked paprika, piquillo peppers, anchovy and lemon juice in a blender and blend until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- For the crispy prosciutto: Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium heat until it shimmers. Add one slice of the prosciutto at a time to the pan and cook until just crisp. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
- For the burgers: Combine the chuck and fat in a meat grinder and grind coarsely into a large bowl (or put the 80/20 beef into a large bowl). Mix in some salt and pepper. Divide the meat into 4 equal patties.
- Heat a cast-iron pan over high heat until smoking. Add the canola oil and burgers and cook until the bottoms are golden brown and a crust has formed, about 4 minutes. Flip over and begin brushing and basting with the spiced butter. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the meat is cooked to medium, another 4 minutes. Top the burgers with the fontina, add a little water to the pan, cover quickly and cook until the cheese is completely melted, about 1 minute.
- Spread some aioli on the top and bottom buns. Place a burger on each bottom bun, top with some of the pickled shallots, followed by a slice of crispy prosciutto and some arugula. Add the top buns and serve.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients and mix well.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ground beef: Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean. This will help to ensure that your burgers are juicy and flavorful.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings to find the perfect flavor combination for your burgers. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
- Mix the meat gently: When mixing the ground beef with the seasonings, be gentle to avoid overworking the meat. This will help to keep the burgers tender and juicy.
- Form the patties evenly: When forming the burger patties, make sure that they are all the same size and thickness. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the burgers, don't overcrowd the pan. This will help to prevent the burgers from steaming and ensure that they get a nice crust.
- Cook the burgers to your desired doneness: The cooking time for burgers will vary depending on the thickness of the patties and how you like them cooked. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers to ensure that they are cooked to your liking.
- Let the burgers rest before serving: After cooking the burgers, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the burgers more tender and flavorful.
