6. Place the chopped onion in a large bowl; add pork, olives, garlic, paprika, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt.

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

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

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