Ingredients
2 lbs ground pork
2 lbs ground beef, lamb or bison
2 tbsp dried oregano
2 tbsp paprika
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup red wine
Preparation
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or light the charcoal.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine all the ingredients except for the wine. Mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Turn the mixer down to the lowest speed and drizzle in wine. Return to medium speed for 1 minute longer. The mixture will have become shiny. Remove meat from the bowl and form into 12 patties. Grill burgers approximately 6 to 8 minutes per side, to an internal temperature of 150 F.
Serve immediately with toasted buns and a variety of mustards and relishes, mayo, pickles, cheese, bacon and juicy tomatoes. (For something special, pickle red onions in advance by slicing them ¼-inch thick, grilling them lightly and placing them in a jar with red-wine vinegar, salt and pepper for a week before serving.)
